Biological computers on the horizon
Researchers have built basic components for digital devices from bacteria and DNA, a huge first step for the future production of biological computing devices. Logic gates, used for processing information in computers and similar devices, have been formed using gut bacteria and DNA. The new biological gates are modular and can be fitted together, potentially one day allowing more complex processors than their electronic counterparts.

Studying rare genome motifs
Gene regulation is an essential function in all life forms and it is a well-researched area of multicellular organisms as diverse as roundworms and humans. Now Miklos Cserzo believes he may have discovered a completely new aspect of this regulation and all he needs to do now is discover just quite what it all means. In this fascinating interview, he explains more

GWA studies, gene regulation and disease; pointers for the future of medical science?
Analyses of existing genome wide association (GWA) studies have shown that 88% of disease associated polymorphisms are contained in the human non-coding genome. However, our understanding of the role of the non-coding human genome in human health, and how variation in this component can lead to disease, has seriously lagged behind our understanding of the role of genes.
