  5. Tracking down the parents of sweet orange

    Valencia, Spain – Detailing the ancestry of sweet orange has been a long-sought prize for citrus scientists. On Friday, the leader of a group that has been analyzing the genetic makeup of citrus said in a scientific talk that the ponkan -- a large, loose-skinned type of mandarin widely cultivated in Asia and Brazil -- was the likely father of the sweet orange.

  8. Fighting diseases with genetic therapy

    Genes make us who we are — in sickness and in health. We get our genetic makeup from our parents, of course, but in the future, we might be getting genes from our doctors too. Imagine your doctor promising to cure your cancer or heart disease by prescribing some new snippets of DNA.

  11. Elizabeth Emken: Running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and the odds

    Like many parents of autistic children, Elizabeth Emken's priorities changed when she heard her son's diagnosis. But most parents do not wind up running for U.S. Senate. Emken's 12.5% of the vote in the June primary makes her the GOP challenger to Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's a UCLA graduate in economics and political science who worked at IBM before launching into more than a decade of lobbying for autism legislation. She'll be in Tampa — home of the Buccaneers football team — for next week's GOP convention. And while a football coach, as her father once was, might assess her chances against Feinstein as "fourth and very long," like so many other parents of autistic kids, Emken is used to those odds.
