Genetic 'Conflict' May Affect Obesity
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have discovered that conflict between genes inherited from our parents may affect our ability to adapt to life after birth, and have lasting effects on our weight. We inherit similar sets of genes from both our parents, but of a small number of genes only one of the copies is active, the copy from the other... view more... (2004-08-17)
New tool probes function of rice genes
A new tool for investigating the rice genome has been developed by researchers at UC Davis led by Pamela Ronald, professor of plant pathology. view more (2008-10-09)
Animals can change genes quickly to keep up with viral ingenuity
Viruses are famous for evolving quickly, but the organisms they infect can't be expected to sit idly by. view more (2006-03-21)
Mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
Why mitochondrial genes ditch their cushy haploid environs to take up residence in a large and chaotic nucleus has long stumped evolutionary biologists, but Indiana University Bloomington scientists report in this week's Science that they've uncovered an important clue in flowering plants. view more (2007-03-23)
Would you like gene chips with your salad ?
The first public release of plant gene chip information is being launched at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in Swansea on Friday 12th April. Scientists from the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC), part of a multi-million pound resource network, will announce a newly accessible plant gene chip database which is available... view more...

Genes are of little importance in rheumatoid arthritis
Genes are of little importance in the development of rheumatoid arthritis, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Discovery of a molecular mechanism underlying limb architecture
A genetic study performed by Dr. Marie Kmita, a researcher at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal (IRCM), in collaboration with Drs Basile Tarchini and Denis Duboule of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, sheds light on the origins of the architecture of arms and legs. view more (2006-10-26)
Genes involved in cell growth and cell division identified
A recent study shows that hundreds of genes contribute to cell growth and cell division. For the first time these genes, many of which are potential contributors to cancer, have been mapped in a single systematic study. view more (2006-02-23)
Comparing chimp and human DNA
Scientists look to the chimpanzee genome to better understand what is uniquely human about our own. One goal is to find DNA elements that show evidence of rapid evolution in the human lineage. view more (2006-10-13)
Analysis of breast and colon cancer genes finds many areas of differences between tumors
Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Ireland Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine are part of a new national study that has analyzed more than 18,000 genes, including 5,000 previously unmapped genes, from breast and colorectal tumors. view more (2007-10-12)
Resistance exercise resets the body clock
Resistance exercise may directly reset the body clocks in skeletal muscle, according to research published in Genome Biology this week. This result may partly explain how exercising early in the day helps jet-lagged bodies readjust to their new time zone. Many processes in the body vary in a 24-hour rhythm called the circadian rhythm. These... view more... (2003-09-24)
Researchers reveal types of genes necessary for brain development
Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Brandeis University have successfully completed a full-genome RNAi screen in neurons, showing what types of genes are necessary for brain development. Details of the screen and its novel methodology are published July 4th in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics. view more (2008-07-08)
Cancer cells suppress large regions of DNA by a reversible process that can be tackled
Cancer researchers at Sydney's Garvan Institute, in collaboration with Spanish scientists, have formulated a new concept for how cancer cells can escape normal growth controls, which may have far-reaching implications for the new generation of cancer therapies. view more (2006-04-24)
The skeleton: Size matters
Vertebrates have in common a skeleton made of segments, the vertebrae. During development of the embryo, each segment is added in a time dependent manner, from the head-end to the tail-end: the first segments to be added become the vertebrae of the neck, later segments become the vertebrae with ribs and the last ones the vertebra located in the... view more...

Young adolescent girls' depression is tied to more stressful life events
Children's conduct problems—skipping school, sneaking out of the house, lying to parents, shoplifting, or bullying other children—are a major source of concern for parents and teachers. view more (2007-02-08)
Tiny worm provides model for the genetics of nicotine dependence
The unassuming C. elegans nematode worm, a 1-millimeter workhorse of the genetics lab, is quite similar to human beings in its genetic susceptibility to nicotine dependence. view more (2006-11-03)
Surprising gene discovery
Researchers at the University of Bergen are now able to present new information on the HOX genes - the "software" to design animals. The findings are published in today's issue of Nature. view more (2004-09-10)
Learning the language of DNA
An international consortium of scientists, including a team from The University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), is a step closer to the next generation of treatments to combat disease, after publishing a comprehensive analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes. view more (2006-05-03)
Candidate genes found which may play a role in cancer progressing from non-invasive to invasive
Scientists in America have made the first steps in identifying a group of genes which may be involved in the progression of breast cancer from non-invasive to invasive, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Thursday 21 March). view more (2002-03-19)
New insights into how the oncogenic protein c-Myc regulates cell growth
New findings by Swedish and German scientists on the regulation of cellular growth are published in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2005-02-20)
