PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 18-Nov-2014 Contact: Joel Winston joel.winston@biomedcentral.com 44-203-192-2081 BioMed Central @biomedcentral A new method for examining the Ebola virus genome could make surveillance quicker and cheaper for West African nations, and help detect new forms of the virus. The detailed procedure is being shared with the research community along with the study paper, which is freely available in the open access journal Genome Biology. With over 13,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths in eight affected countries, the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest to date, the first to spread to densely populated urban areas, and represents the first time the virus has been diagnosed outside of Africa. To help contain the current outbreak, experts say that surveillance remains key. Detecting viral RNA genomes in suspected fever patients helps confirm diagnoses of Ebola, and aids decisions to quarantine patients and begin tracing their contacts. Yet sequencing viral genomes directly from blood samples holds many challenges. Samples contain very little viral RNA and are heavily contaminated with human RNA, while hot climates cause rapid degradation of viral RNA material and biosafety measures bring further complications for handling samples. As such few Ebola genomes have been sequenced. Research led … Continue reading →

Local high school students are seeing more success on state standardized science tests since new assessments were introduced two years ago, a Times analysis shows. Fifteen of the 21 high schools in The Times coverage area saw an increase in the percentage of students passing standardized science tests between 2010-11 and 2013-14. Since the state introduced the biology Keystone Exam in 2011-12, only Ambridge, Beaver, Central Valley, Hopewell and Rochester high schools and Beaver Area Academic charter school saw a decline in the percentage of students passing the tests during that time. That bucks expectations and performance on math and reading tests. Theres so much emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs that its helping prepare students for these science tests, said Melanie Kerber, superintendent at Blackhawk School District, where the high school has seen a 26 percent increase in students passing the exams since the introduction of a new test two years ago. Without question, our emphasis on STEM has helped a great deal. A Times analysis found that a lower percentage of students are passing math and reading tests at all grade levels compared with five years ago. Thats not the case in science, where two-thirds … Continue reading →
