ALT Most pesticides for dealing with Colorado potatobeetle infestations can kill harmless species. A newpesticide, called Calantha, is much more specific because ittargets a gene found in the pest and its close relatives. Appliedas a spray, the pesticide is eaten by beetle larvae and kills them byactivating a process called RNA interference.

EMBL researchers and their collaborators have provided exciting new insights into human genetic variation by building upon the 1000 Genomes Project dataset.
The two studies constitute what may be the most complete overview of the human genome to date.
