New encyclopedia of DNA reveals complex inner workings
New York reports a global study by 500 scientists detailing DNA networks that govern gene activity. The work shows 80 percent of the genome active, challenging junk-DNA ideas and highlighting regulators that direct tissue-specific gene use. Scientists compare the map to a rapid translation of a long book.

Dawn crafts voyage to dwarf planet Ceres from Vesta
NASA Dawn, launched 2007, began cruise from Vesta toward the dwarf planet Ceres. The ion propulsion driven maneuver freed the craft from Vesta’s gravity, marking a smooth departure as ground crews awaited Earth confirmation. Dawn aims to study the asteroid belt’s largest bodies to illuminate solar system formation.
