  1. Childhood cancer genomes now available for study

    Noting that “children are not just small adults,” researchers at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Washington University have released the complete genomes of 260 St. Jude pediatric cancer patients — as well as the genomes of their tumors — for scientific study.

  3. Turning DNA into a hard drive

    Silicon-based computers are fine for typing term papers and surfing the Web, but scientists want to make devices that can work on a far smaller scale, recording data within individual cells. One way to do that is to create a microscopic hard drive out of DNA, the molecule that already stores the genetic blueprints of all living things.

  10. Market Watch: New cherry varieties worth a pit stop

    &mdash; Early cherries are reason enough to head to the farmers market, but be careful. Erratic winter chill, freezes during bloom, hail and late rains have made for a short crop of early cherries from the southern San Joaquin Valley. But there's still plenty of great fruit available at farmers markets for those who take care to select fresh, ripe cherries of the best varieties. In the last decade, the task has become trickier, but potentially more rewarding, with the arrival of new and unfamiliar varieties.

  11. For island snakes, ultimate size depends on mouth size at birth

    Tiger snakes on some islands around Australia have evolved to reach twice the normal size of their mainland counterparts, while those on other islands have not or have even gotten smaller, a finding that has perplexed some researchers. Biologists have generally argued that comparisons between island and mainland species should be based on adult size, but a French herpetologist now argues that it is birth size that is most important -- at least for snakes. If the available prey on an island is larger than their normal prey, then those snakes born with bigger mouths -- required because the reptiles ingest their food whole -- have the best chance of surviving.

  12. With her child's birth, an adoptee discovers a priceless bond

    I do not know what clothes I was wearing. Whether I'd been left in a cradle or with any note of explanation. I do not know if I cried or lay still. Looked around or slept. Minutes may have gone by. Or hours.
