Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These polymers effectively transport the transferable... view more...

Fitting in: Newly evolved genes adopt a variety of strategies to remain in the gene pool
When Mother Nature creates an identical copy of a gene in an organism's genome, the duplicated copy is usually deleted, inactivated, or otherwise rendered nonfunctional in order to prevent genetic redundancy and to preserve biological homeostasis. view more (2005-10-03)
Moving gene therapy forward with mobile DNA
Gene therapy is the introduction of genetic material into a patient's cells resulting in a cure or a therapeutic effect. In recent years, it has been shown that gene therapy is a promising technology to treat or even cure several fatal diseases for which there is no attractive alternative therapy. view more (2009-05-04)
Crop plants and domestic animals piggy-back on the Human Genome Project
A new £4.5M funding initiative to exploit developments in genome analysis of crops and livestock has been launched by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The scheme Genome Analysis of Agriculturally Important Traits (GAIT) will support research to identify, characterise and manipulate genes for crucial... view more... (1997-11-21)
Biopharmaceutical infrastructure key to lower drug development costs
Improvements to the technology infrastructure for researching and developing new biopharmaceuticals would be expected to save the industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually, according to a new economic study sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-10-12)
GIANT-Coli: A novel method to quicken discovery of gene function
Think researchers know all there is to know about Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli? Think again. "E. coli has more than four thousand genes, and the functions of one-fourth of these remain unknown," says Dr. Deborah Siegele, a biology professor at Texas A&M University whose laboratory specializes in carrying out research... view more...

More Than 200 New Genes Discovered
Finnish company Jurilab has announced the completion of a genome-wide scan in Acute Myocardial Infarction in the East Finland Founder Population. The study gives invaluable insight into the interplay of different genes and pathways leading to coronary disease. The study has re-affirmed the majority of genes previously known to be associated with... view more... (2004-08-12)
First calves from gene diagnosed embryos born at MTT Agrifood Research Finland
Results from quantitative trait gene mapping (QTL) have been utilised for the first time in the selection of bovine embryos. The genotypes of two genes affecting milk yield and composition have been analysed from pre-implantation embryo biopsies. The first four female calves with known milk production genotypes were recently born at the... view more... (2003-08-14)
Drugs without side effects
Developing new medications is costly and complex. Gene expression analysis aids in the early detection of the toxicity and effectiveness of new medicines. The method paves the way for customized medical treatment where side effects will be cancelled out. Pharmaceutical research is a long, tedious process. On average, it takes 12-15 years to... view more... (2004-02-26)
New neuroimaging analysis technique identifies impact of Alzheimer's disease gene in healthy brains
Brain imaging can offer a window into risk for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). A study conducted at the University of Kansas School of Medicine demonstrated that genetic risk is expressed in the brains of even those who are healthy, but carry some risk for AD. view more (2009-11-18)
U-M researchers discover new genes that fuse in cancer
Using new technologies that make it easier to sequence the human genome, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a series of genes that become fused when their chromosomes trade places with each other. view more (2009-01-12)
