Nanoparticles Can Rip Your DNA Apart Without Ever Touching It
If I could visualize nanoparticles, I'd think of them as crime bosses because apparently they can mess with DNA without ever having direct interaction. Like a true godfather, a nanoparticle commands obedient molecules to do the dirty work. More » -

Scientists Mapping Out 10,000 Animal Genomes For "Genetic Zoo"
On the tail-end of news that all of the HIV genome and 98% of the pig genome has been decoded, scientists are announcing that they've got a plan to collect and sequence the DNA of 10,000 vertebrate species. More » -

DNA-Inspired Closet Is As Space-Efficient As It's Twisted and Curvy
Irina Alexandru's design is more of a coat hanger than a closet, but it's intended to allow for the maximum amount of clothing hangers in the smallest amount of space. I just plain like the curvy double helix design. More » -

Mighty Mouse Has One Less Gene, Lives 20% Longer
Sorry, Apple. Researchers have already created a mightier mouse: By deleting a single gene from a mouse's genetic makeup, they've enabled it to suffer fewer age related ailments and live 20% longer. On humans, that'd be about 16 bonus years. More » -

IBM Examining Microchips Built On DNA "Origami" Nanostructures
From the "at least 10 years out" category of microchip fabrication comes word that IBM is working to reduce future costs and microchip sizes by using DNA. More » -

Genome Sequencing Gets 99.9833% Price Cut
Dr. Quake of Stanford University only needed $50,000 and a month's time to complete a genome sequencing process which previously took $300 million, over 250 people, and several years. How cheap would Windows 7 be with this guy's cost-cutting? More » -

Secret of Eternal Life, Better Sex Found in Mammoth Graveyard
Get ready for eternal life and better sex: Russians scientists working on a Siberian mammoth graveyard have found unknown bacterium DNA which, according to preliminary lab results, effectively extends mice's life-as well as other things. More » -

DNA Strands Converted Into Tiniest Fiber Optic Cables For Optical Computing
Future optical computers that use light instead of electricity will need nano-scale pipes to transfer photons—analogues to the individual transistor's in a traditional circuit. And for that, scientists for the first time have used human DNA to build the smallest fiber optics cables yet created. And as is typical with organic computers, said cables are capable of assembling themselves. More » -

Modular DNA PC Concept Lets You Build it Like LEGO
This modular DNA PC concept looks quite similar to the Bookshelf Microsoft ISDA design concept from a few years ago, but it's slightly different in that it's almost entirely made out of cubes. The core idea is the same: you've got a base "PC" that you add features and peripherals onto by attaching them together. Keyboard, storage, RAM, and other components are all interchangeable, which gives the final PC construction a bit of a kindergarden/LEGO look. Interesting, yes, but a bit too far-fetched to be really usable. More » -

NEC Creates Mobile DNA Lab, Baby Daddies Run in Horror
Maybe we've been watching too many CSI reruns, but NEC's mobile DNA lab looks awesome. Not only does it bring portability to DNA analysis, but it even improves upon the typical versions. To complete its barrage of tests takes about 25-minutes &mdash and, by comparison, a typical DNA lab would take an entire day. NEC achieved this by significantly decreasing the time it takes to heat and cool the DNA sample during PCR amplification. And just think, if this thing takes off, the old "Lets send this back to the boys at the lab" line could finally be laid to rest. [Pink Tentacle]
