Colon cancer ranks second of all gastrointestinal malignant tumors, it is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. view more (2008-10-24)
Search for cancer genes unlikely to succeed, say experts
The hunt to find common genes that are associated with cancer is unlikely to be successful, say experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-05-12)
CSHL researchers discover three new genes that cause lung cancer
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered three genes that interact with cancerous results in 20% of lung cancers. view more (2007-10-09)
Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Transfer
The way antibiotic resistance spreads and possible problems from genes transferring have been identified by researchers from the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, in new evidence about the way genes pass from one bacterium to another. The research is presented today, Monday 7 April 2003, by Dr Karen Scott at the Society for General... view more... (2003-04-02)
Essential genes cluster clue to order in the genome
The identification of a cluster of essential genes on mouse chromosome 11 as well as similar clusters on the chromosomes of other organisms - including humans - buttresses the argument that there may be rules as to how genes are structured or laid out on chromosomes. view more (2007-05-04)
Mathematical model identifies genes which battle hepatitis C
Joint research by Dr. Leonid Brodsky, of the Institute of Evolution of the University of Haifa, and Dr. Milton Taylor, of Indiana University, led to the discovery of a mathematical method which can identify which genes in our bodies conduct the battle against the various viruses that attack us. view more (2007-07-20)
Suicide Gene Combination Targets Breast Cancer
A new 'mix and match' cancer therapy is being unveiled at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham today. view more (2000-03-07)
Zeroing in on Alzheimer's
Hereditary Alzheimer's disease has been shown to be the result of mutations in certain specific genes. Other cases of Alzheimer's are also assumed to be traceable to the influence of a number of still unidentified genes. It is probable that these genes are located in a large area on chromosome 10q, which contains more than 100 genes. Working with... view more... (2003-09-25)
DNA differences may influence risk of Hodgkin disease
A new analysis has found that certain variations in genes that repair DNA can affect a person's risk of developing Hodgkin disease. view more (2009-03-09)
Building disease-beating wheat
Disease resistance genes from three different grass species have been combined in the world's first 'trigenomic' chromosome, which can now be used to breed disease resistant wheat varieties. view more (2007-12-13)
Bar flies: fruit flies help unravel the genetics of alcohol sensitivity
Research published in the online open access journal Genome Biology this week has identified a number of genes that are associated with sensitivity to alcohol in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). view more (2007-10-31)
Dental plaque: a breeding ground for antibiotic resistance
Gene swapping is taking place on your gums as the bacteria in dental plaque trade-up on newer antibiotic resistance genes, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We have found that many antibiotic resistance genes in oral bacteria are... view more... (2002-08-28)
A new explanation for evolutionary changes in genetic sex-determination systems
In animals with separate sexes, embryos commit to becoming male or female at an early stage. Often this key decision is made by sex determination genes on the sex chromosomes. The genes involved in sexual development have changed remarkably little during evolution. In contrast, the sex determination genes and the sex chromosomes themselves are... view more... (2007-10-22)
The human immune system may limit future evolution
Scientists from Imperial College London have suggested why the human genome may possess far fewer genes than previously estimated before the human genome project was begun. Research published in the July issue of Trends in Immunology, shows how a more advanced immune system in humans could explain why the human genome may have only a slightly... view more...

A new mathematical formula for cancer progression
Tumor progression can now be mapped less to mathematical standards and more to individual patients according to a new study by researchers at Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities. view more (2007-11-09)
Exercise training in ordinary people affects the activity of 500 genes
A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm shows that hundreds of genes in the thigh muscle are activated in regular cycle training. The study also reveals that great differences in training response may be due to the ability in some people to activate their genes much more forcefully. The study is published May 2 in FASEB Journal. It... view more... (2005-05-03)

Researchers find groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer
A method of rapidly "scanning" thousands of genes has revealed groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer. Some genes also appear to be able to indicate women's chances of survival, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference heard on Saturday 23 March. Dr Christos Sotiriou, head of the the microarray... view more... (2002-03-21)
The clustering of Hox genes, involved in the determination of body segments, is not necessary for their proper function
The Hox genes (also known as homeotic genes) play a crucial role in the development of animals, being involved in the determination of segment identity along the body axis. These genes were discovered in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster 90 years ago and have been found later in all animals, including humans. The Hox genes are arranged in the... view more...

Newly-discovered mechanism can explain the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
Researchers from Uppsala University have discovered a mechanism that silences several genes in a chromosome domain. The findings, published in today's on-line issue of Molecular Cell, have implications in understanding the human disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. view more (2008-10-27)
