Story highlights Scientists in southern Italy have known about him since 1993 Researchers worried that rescuing the bones would shatter them The Altamura Man became the oldest Neanderthal to have his DNA extracted by researchers. It took them more than 20 years to get around to doing it. Scientists in southern Italy have known about him since 1993, when spelunkers spied his skull staring blankly back at them from its nook in the Lamalunga cave, deep under the town of Altamura. The cave explorers told researchers at the University of Bari what they'd found, according to their report published in March in the Journal of Human Evolution and Phys.org. A man looks at an exhibit comparing modern humans to Neanderthals Altamura Man's intact skull and jumbled pile of bones made for a great specimen, but they were wedged into a panoply of stalactites and stony globules deposited by water dripping over them for tens of thousands of years. Researchers decided not to rescue the bones for fear that trying to ease them out of the cave's calcified grip would shatter them and ruin Altamura Man. So, they left him forever a cave man. Calcite pebbles line the Neanderthal's eye sockets, … Continue reading →

The BioXp 3200 DNA workstation from SGI-DNA, a Synthetic Genomics subsidiary. Advancing Craig Venter's vision of digitizing life, a company founded by the genome pioneer has started early sales of a new DNA workstation that assembles high-quality DNA sequences almost from scratch. SGI-DNA, a subsidiary of Venter's Synthetic Genomics, announced this month it is selling its BioXp 3200 DNA workstation. It's intended for researchers who do a lot of work with DNA sequences, and who want to save time and improve accuracy by automating the process. The system cost just under $50,000 per machine, plus supplies. As DNA sequencing becomes more widespread and less expensive, more sequence information becomes readily available. The BioXp device takes advantage of this trend to more efficiently construct sequences of interest. It includes an error-correcting process to boost accuracy. Instead of isolating known DNA sequences from biological specimens, researchers can load the sequences into the BioXp to directly make the molecules, said Julie Robinson, senior product manager of synthetic biology at Synthetic Genomics. Early buyers will also get assistance from SGI-DNA in assembling their DNA constructs, including custom synthesis directly by SGI-DNA for building long and difficult DNA sequences, the company says. "We develop custom … Continue reading →
