Mixed Messages On Gene Patenting
23 Apr 2010
A US district court ruling that genes are a product of nature and not made or invented makes them ineligible to be patented. The article canvases a range of Australian opinions and possible implications for scientific research and the development of treatments for genetic diseases if the decision...

'Genomic Zoo' To Unlock Vertebrate Secrets
05 Nov 2009
This article is a report by a journalist about the Genome 10K Project which plans to map the genomes of 10 000 vertebrates. Australian scientists believe that the project will provide better understanding of the role played by genes in disease. The project will collect samples from around the world...

Southern Ocean Sentinel
29 Apr 2010
The Southern Ocean between Australia and Antarctica is a thermostat regulating the Earth's current climate. Scientists believe that it can be a sentinel, an early warning system, of climate tipping points to come. Tiny plankton and massive currents hold the clues to how rapidly the Southern...

Finches
04 Jun 2009
Mark Horstman reports on the extraordinary sex life of the Gouldian Finch. Research by scientists from Macquarie University provides new information about mating behaviour that links colour, genetics and natural selection. This knowledge is being used in a program to increase populations of these...

Catalyst: Stem Cell Ethics
08 Apr 2010
The program is a follow up to Making Life screened the previous week where the process of making pluripotent stem cells from skin cells was described and where the potential to use these IPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) instead of human embryos in stem cell therapies was discussed. This...

Catalyst: Making Life
01 Apr 2010
The program describes the ground breaking work of Japanese scientists in creating an alternative type of pluripotent stem cell, not from embryos but from skin cells. Unexpectedly, Chinese researchers then have shown that these cells have the potential to create new life. The program provides an...
