Researchers at OIST are working to learn more about this choreography. 24 July 2012 Research Update Fly spit yields find about genetic controls and differences between sexes In a paper published yesterday in Science, a team of researchers that includes OIST's Nick Luscombe shows that the long-accepted view of how male fruit flies manipulate their genes’ activity should be revised. Their finding shows how cells use a single, crucial regulator to change the activity of large numbers of genes at the same time. 19 July 2012 Research Update Using modern-day technology to unlock Okinawa’s past One of the cornerstones of scientific research at OIST is the removal of boundaries between departments and fields, but art conservator Anya McDavis’ work goes one step further, bridging gaps between art, history and science. 18 July 2012 Research Update New Unit Profile: Big Questions, Small Subjects The Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, led by Evan Economo, uses classic tools of taxonomy—as well as genomic sequencing and computer modeling—to study how species evolve, move around, and adapt to their environments. 08 July 2012 Institutional News OIST Meets the Press OIST executives and researchers travelled to Tokyo on 3 July to present the current state of the university to the Japanese mainland media. 04 July 2012 Institutional News OIST Launches Online News Center OIST today launched a new section of the website aimed at making the university’s articles, photos, videos, and other content more visible and accessible. 29 June 2012 Institutional News Sea, Sand, and Computational Neuroscience Now wrapping up its ninth annual session, the Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course has earned a reputation as one of the best short neuroscience courses in the world. 28 June 2012 Research Update Poison Pen: Reading Snake Venom’s Stories Professor Alexander Mikheyev of the Ecology and Evolution Unit and his collaborator Professor Steven Aird are studying snake venom to better understand the stories it tells. 25 June 2012 Institutional News Second Laboratory Building Opens on OIST’s Main Campus On Wednesday, June 20, the Nishimatsu construction company handed the new Lab 2 building over to OIST. 21 June 2012 Institutional News ADHD Public Lecture Packs OIST Auditorium On Saturday, June 16, Prof. David Daley of the University of Nottingham delivered a public lecture at OIST on parenting children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
