New gene discovery links obesity to the brain
A variation in a gene that is active in the central nervous system is associated with increased risk for obesity. view more (2009-06-26)
Good news and bad for dad this Father's Day
It was long believed that conception does not involve a meeting of equals. The egg is a relatively large, impressive biological factory compared with the tiny sperm, which delivers to the egg one copy of the father's genes. view more (2009-06-15)
Researchers attach genes to minichromosomes in maize
A team of scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia has discovered a way to create engineered minichromosomes in maize and attach genes to those minichromosomes. view more (2007-05-15)
Genes may interact with obstetric complications to boost schizophrenia risk
The cause of schizophrenia is thought to include both epistasis and gene-environment interactions. view more (2008-01-15)
Scientists find new agent to fight genetic disorders -- Zorro-Locked Nucleic Acid
A study to appear in the June 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal describes a new agent, called "Zorro-LNA," which has the potential to stop genetic disorders in their tracks. view more (2007-04-30)
Supersized 'island' of resistance genes discovered in an infectious bacterium
Researchers have discovered a cluster of 45 genes coding for antibacterial drug resistance in the bacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. view more (2006-01-13)
Women testing negative for familial breast cancer gene still at increased risk
Women testing negative for the two inherited breast cancer genes are still at increased risk of developing the disease, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Medical Genetics. view more (2006-10-31)
Analysis highlights areas for research into genetic causes of alcoholism
The findings of a meta-analysis of microarray data of several mouse models that differ in voluntary alcohol consumption highlight new neurobiological targets for further study and provide researchers a novel statistical approach for use in future microarray meta-analyses. view more (2006-04-19)
Large family study pinpoints genetic linkage in drug addiction
Based on data obtained from one of the largest family sets of its kind, Yale School of Medicine researchers have identified a genetic linkage for dependence on drugs such as heroin, morphine and oxycontin. view more (2006-04-11)
Weeding out marijuana: Researchers close in on engineering recognizable, drug-free Cannabis plant
In a first step toward engineering a drug-free Cannabis plant for hemp fiber and oil, University of Minnesota researchers have identified genes producing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive substance in marijuana. Studying the genes could also lead to new and better drugs for pain, nausea and other conditions. view more (2009-09-16)
Massive gene screening points way to more effective chemotherapy
Using a technology that can quickly screen all 20,000-plus human genes for biological activity, scientists have isolated 87 genes that seem to affect how sensitive human cancer cells are to certain chemotherapy drugs. view more (2007-04-12)
Genetic 'tag team' keeps cells on cycle
By surveying the activity of thousands of genes at several different time points, researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy have uncovered new evidence that a network of influential genes act as a kind of genetic tag team to orchestrate one of the most fundamental aspects of all life: the cell cycle. view more (2008-05-08)
Inventory of Genes
Scientists at DKFZ screen fruit fly genome for cancer-relevant genes Dr. Michael Boutros of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and an international team of collaborators have been the first to screen an almost complete genome for genes that could play a role in cancer. The results have been published in the... view more... (2004-02-09)
Researchers turn to brainpower to beat dementia
Scientists have turned to the brightest brains in Britain in a bid to understand the link between intelligence and dementia. view more (2005-02-15)
Southampton study aims to pinpoint heart disease genes
REF: 99/53 15 APRIL 1999 view more (1999-05-26)
Internal Clock, External Light Regulate Plant Growth
Most plants and animals show changes in activity over a 24-hour cycle. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown how a plant combines signals from its internal clock with those from the environment to show a daily rhythm of growth. view more (2007-07-10)
Plants, plasmids and possibilities — Methods permit functional gene studies in plants
Decaffeinated coffee plants, pest-resistant cotton, and Vitamin A-producing rice varieties have all been developed by introducing genes into plants. view more (2006-12-04)
Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer cells that are spreading from the original tumour.... view more...

Disrupted genetic regulation causes common disturbance in metabolism of fat
The disease familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is a common cause of disturbed metabolism of fat and early heart attacks. Uppsala University scientists have now developed a pioneering method and can show for the first time what genes are regulated by the gene USF1, which is known to cause the disease. view more (2008-02-06)
Old flies can become young moms
Female flies can turn back the biological clock and extend their lifespan at the same time, University of Southern California biologists report. view more (2008-11-25)
