Statistical technique finds gene regulatory sites without knowledge of regulators

A new statistical technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois allows scientists to scan a genome for specific gene-regulatory regions without requiring prior knowledge of the relevant transcription factors. The technique has been experimentally validated in both the mouse genome and the fruit fly genome.

Silk and silicon combine for a new generation of implantable biomedical devices that are resorbable by the body

Mating man and machine may be closer than we think. As an extension of their earlier work with flexible, bendable, and stretchable electronics, an Illinois team, in collaboration with researchers at Tufts University, have developed a new class of implantable biomedical devices based on ultrathin, ultrasmall silicon electronic devices mounted on silk substrates that completely resorb inside the body over time.
