What makes us unique? Not only our genes
Once the human genome was sequenced in 2001, the hunt was on for the genes that make each of us unique. view more (2010-03-19)
Transcription Factors May Dictate Differences Between Individuals
Researchers are only beginning to understand how individual variation in gene regulation can have a lasting impact on one's health and susceptibility to certain diseases. view more (2010-03-19)
The formula for making teeth will soon be found
Each cusp of our teeth is regulated by genes which carefully control the development. A similar genetic puzzle also regulates the differentiation of our other organs and of all living organisms. view more (2010-03-16)
Using New Approach, Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Level of Gene Alters Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
Using sophisticated techniques that scan the genomes of patients, researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have found that a gene appears to either help protect against development of Alzheimer's disease, or promote the disorder depending on the level of gene in the brain. view more (2010-03-16)
First whole genome sequencing of family of 4 reveals new genetic power
The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) has analyzed the first whole genome sequences of a human family of four. view more (2010-03-11)
Intentional variation increases result validity in mouse testing
For decades, the traditional practice in animal testing has been standardization, but a study involving Purdue University has shown that adding as few as two controlled environmental variables to preclinical mice tests can greatly reduce costly false positives, the number of animals needed for testing and the cost of pharmaceutical trials. view more (2010-03-10)
Exploring Echinacea's Enigmatic Origins
An Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist is helping to sort through the jumbled genetics of Echinacea, the coneflower known for its blossoms-and its potential for treating infections, inflammation, and other human ailments. view more (2010-03-08)
Genetic cause discovered for rare bleeding disorder
For some Canadians, any cut such as from dental work or surgery can cause days or more of bleeding. Although they are not hemophiliacs, for some an ordinary bruise can balloon into the size of an orange. view more (2010-03-04)
Baby monkeys receive signals through their mother's breast milk
Among rhesus macaque monkeys, mothers who weigh more and have had previous pregnancies produce more and better breast milk for their babies than mothers who weigh less and are less experienced. view more (2010-03-03)
Modern man found to be generally monogamous, moderately polygamous
Did women and men contribute equally to the lineage of contemporary populations? Did our ancestors, Homo sapiens, lean more toward polygamy or monogamy? view more (2010-03-03)
Predisposing factors for conversion of mild cognitive impairment to AD identified
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often considered an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2010-03-02)
UCLA study finds genetic link between misery and death
In ongoing work to identify how genes interact with social environments to impact human health, UCLA researchers have discovered what they describe as a biochemical link between misery and death. view more (2010-02-25)
Simple math explains dramatic beak shape variation in Darwin's finches
From how massive humpbacks glide through the sea with ease to the efficient way fungal spores fly, applied mathematicians at Harvard have excavated the equations behind a variety of complex phenomena. view more (2010-02-23)
The impact of genomics
Working with worms may not be your average person's idea of a good time, but for University of Toronto researcher Dr. Andrew Fraser, they are fascinating. view more (2010-02-22)
Enzyme deficiency protects hepatitis C patients from treatment-related anemia
Many people who undergo treatment for hepatitis C develop hemolytic anemia, a disorder that destroys red blood cells. view more (2010-02-22)
Giant panda genome reveals new insights into the bear's bamboo diet
A Chinese-led team including international researchers with a scientist from Cardiff University, has shed new light on some of the giant panda's unusual biological traits, including its famously restricted diet. view more (2010-02-19)
Genes, environment, or chance?
Biologists attribute variations among individual organisms to differences in genes or environment, or both. But a new study of nematode worms with identical genes, raised in identical environments, has revealed another factor: chance. view more (2010-02-19)
Study Finds Variations In One Gene May Be Associated With Endurance Running
A few minor variations in one gene may make a difference in athletic endurance, according to a new study from Physiological Genomics. view more (2010-02-19)
Study reveals genetic link between mammographic density and breast cancer
A University of Melbourne study has revealed that certain breast cancer genetic variants increase mammographic density, confirming the link between mammographic breast density and breast cancer. view more (2010-02-17)
Genomic warfare to counter malaria drug resistance
Scientists battling malaria have earned a major victory. According to a Nature Genetics study, an international group of researchers has used genomics to decode the blueprint of Plasmodium falciparum - a strain of malaria most resistant to drugs that causes the most deaths around the world. view more (2010-02-17)
