		<description><![CDATA[Laboratory tests on the vehicle explorer &#8220;Phoenix&#8221; confirmed the existence of water on the planet Mars, NASA said today. 
The U.S. space agency said yesterday that the robotic arm of &#8220;Phoenix&#8221; deposited one sample in an instrument that identified water vapor. &#8220;We have water on Mars, said William Boynton, thermal analyzer scientist at the University [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As biotechnology advances and the methods to detect and analyse DNA are more sensitive and accurate, scientists have found a new twist to the power of DNA. A recent paper in Biology Letters reports that it has been possible to detect the presence of the invasive frog American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) in ponds by measuring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A huge step has just been made in the race to achieve a permanent lunar colony. Scientists at NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, have managed to set up a successful bacterial culture on a substrate made with lunar soil, plus the supplementation of air, water and light. They used a kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time, stem cells from human embryos have been obtained without destroying the embryo from which they come. The breakthrough overcomes the main objection to the ethics of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research - the embryos must be killed to get hES cells.
The new method removes a single cell from the embryo [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DNA testing to establish ancestry are becoming very popular and are being offered by several companies. As the knowledge about the genetic composition of human populations accumulates, the manufacturers are including more markers to their tests in order to make them more accurate and span more ancestral lineages.
Geneticists from the Department of Genetics, University of [...]]]></description>
