Tool Helps Identify Gene Function in Soybeans, Could Lead to Better Crop Performance, say MU Researchers
In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. view more (2008-12-02)
Ashkenazi ovarian cancer patients with BRCA mutations live longer than those with normal gene
Israeli investigators have found that Ashkenazi Jewish women with ovarian cancer who have mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes lived significantly longer than Ashkenazi Jewish ovarian cancer patients without these mutations. view more (2008-01-02)
Fruit flies unlock Methuselah's secrets
New research published in Genome Biology investigates genes that increase the life span of fruit flies in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the ageing process. The researchers from the University of Southern California and Harvard Medical School screened 10,000 fruit fly populations that were mutated. Their results revealed that six... view more...

Family structure size could affect breast cancer risk prediction accuracy for BRCA gene testing
Researchers have found that the probability of the breast cancer gene mutation BRCA among women with a history of breast cancer is greater when the number of older, female relatives in the family is smaller. view more (2007-06-20)
New gene scanning technology marks a major advance in disease research
Gene scanning techniques developed by Professor Ian Day and colleagues at the University of Southampton are set to have a major impact on healthcare in the future. view more (2005-07-07)
Genome update defines landscape of breast and colon cancers
One year after completing the first large-scale report sequencing breast and colon cancer genes, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have studied the vast majority of protein-coding genes which now suggest a landscape dominated by genes that each are mutated in relatively few cancers. view more (2007-10-12)
NIH study reveals new genetic culprit in deadly skin cancer
Drawing on the power of DNA sequencing, National Institutes of Health researchers have identified a new group of genetic mutations involved in the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma. view more (2009-08-31)
Mutations in gene linked to ciliopathies
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, have discovered a connection between mutations in the INPP5E gene and ciliopathies. view more (2009-08-10)
Cancer immunoresistance linked to loss of tumor suppressor gene
Cancer immunoresistance may be partially due to loss of a well-known tumor suppressor gene, according to new research led by Andrew T. Parsa, MD, PhD, assistant professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. view more (2006-12-11)
Gene patenting -- steep cost for health care and patients
The drug trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer (a type of breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 gene and accounts for about 25% of all breast cancers). view more (2007-05-08)
Scientists uncover evolutionary keys to common birth disorders
The work of Forsyth scientist Peter Jezewski, DDS, Ph.D., has revealed that duplication and diversification of protein regions ('modules') within ancient master control genes is key to the understanding of certain birth disorders. view more (2009-01-14)
Multiple genetic 'flavors' may explain autism
While debate still rages over the 'cause' of autism, mounting evidence suggests that genetic factors play a major role in the disease. Two recent studies led by James Sutcliffe, Ph.D., and Randy Blakely, Ph.D., investigators with the Vanderbilt Center for Molecular Neuroscience and the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development,... view more...

Scientists identify a gene that may suppress colorectal cancer
In today's online edition of Genome Research, a husband-and-wife research team from Thomas Jefferson University report the discovery of a gene that, when mutated, may suppress colorectal cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
Cancer researchers link DICER1 gene mutation to rare childhood cancer
Research published today in Science Express from the journal Science demonstrates the first definitive link between mutations in the gene DICER1 and cancer. view more (2009-06-26)
Genetics of muscular dystophy
Various forms of human muscular dystrophy result from mutations in genes encoding proteins of the nuclear envelope. A new paper in the February 15th issue of G&D reveals how. view more (2006-02-15)
Research links genetic mutations to lupus
A gene discovered by scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine has been linked to lupus and related autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-07-30)
Researchers link genetic errors to schizophrenia
A team of researchers at the University of Washington and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories has uncovered genetic errors that may shed light on the causes of schizophrenia. view more (2008-03-28)
Deadly genetic disease prevented before birth in zebrafish
By injecting a customized "genetic patch" into early stage fish embryos, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis were able to correct a genetic mutation so the embryos developed normally. view more (2008-03-24)
EMSY: a new gene for breast/ovarian cancer
A new human breast and ovarian cancer gene has just been described by investigators in the last issue of the journal Cell. The gene, called EMSY, also characterises a subset of breast cancer with poorer survival, which makes it a potentially important diagnostic tool. view more (2003-12-10)
Two copies of G2019S Parkinson's gene mutation doesn't lead to more severe disease
A group of Parkinson's disease researchers concluded there are no observable differences between those who have two copies of the most common mutation of the recently discovered LRRK2 gene and those who have only one copy. view more (2006-09-12)
