Genes may determine success of anti-inflammatory therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Small genetic differences may explain why the same drug works well in one individual but not in another. These genetic variations could be exploited to develop individually tailored treatment programmes for rheumatoid arthritis, Swedish researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of... view more... (2001-06-14)
New gene for rheumatism identified
A genetic variant that can explain the occurrence of a type of rheumatic disorder called SLE has been identified by a research team at Uppsala University, Sweden. The team, led by Associate Professor Marta Alarc'łn at the Rudbeck Laboratory, is presenting its finding in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature Genetics. Nearly 6,000... view more...

New Maize Map to Aid Plant Breeding Efforts
In a massive survey of genetic diversity in maize, also known as corn, researchers across the United States, have developed a gene map that should pave the way to significant improvements in a plant that is a major source of food, fuel, animal feed and fiber around the world. view more (2009-11-20)
Mapping the crocodile genome
The first ever genetic linkage map for a non-avian member of the Class Reptilia has been developed. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have constructed a first-generation genetic linkage map for the saltwater crocodile Crocodylus porosus. view more (2009-07-29)
HIV-1 : RECOMBINATION BETWEEN TWO STRAINSFROM WIDELY DISTANT GROUPS
Scientists have known for a long time that the AIDS virus is genotypically highly variable. Two main types of the virus exist: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, the most widespread throughout the world, can be divided into three groups (M, N and O) each of which has different genetic characteristics. Within group M, which gathers together the most frequent... view more... (2000-03-09)

Dr. Terry Orr-Weaver and colleagues (MIT & Nagasaki University School of Medicine) present the first genetic analysis of the recently identified nucleosomal histone kinase, NHK-1. view more (2005-10-17)
Nursing study concludes few Ontario women with invasive ovarian cancer referred for genetic testing of breast cancer genes
An Ontario study of 491 women with invasive ovarian cancer found only a small proportion, 19%, were referred for genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the breast cancer genes, which means family members are not informed of their cancer risk. view more (2008-12-05)
Salmonella survives better in stomach due to altered DNA
Since 1995 there has been a considerable increase in the number of infections with a specific type of Salmonella bacteria transmitted via food. This type, Salmonella serovar Typhimurium DT104, is resistant to at least five different antibiotics. view more (2007-01-31)
Researchers make progress in studying genetic traits of India-born populations
Despite the fact that the people of India constitute more than one-sixth of the world's entire population, they have been underrepresented in studies related to genetic diseases. view more (2006-12-26)
Genetic counselors turn to unconventional counseling to meet demand for genetic testing
Imagine receiving genetic test results for a disease you could develop later in life without having anyone with whom to discuss your options for managing the risk. That's becoming a common occurrence as people turn to the Internet and other outlets for genetic testing without genetic counseling. view more (2008-03-17)
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)
Nine Million Deutschmarks for Genome Research in Bonn
The German government will provide funding totalling over 30 million Deutschmarks for the investigation of genetically based diseases of the nervous system during the next three years. The University of Bonn will receive the biggest portion of this sum, nine million marks. Bonn scientists thus benefit from the recently founded national genome... view more... (2001-04-04)
UAB creates the first Internet server to search for genetic diversity
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have developed the first international server that allows the user to analyze genetic diversity on a large scale. The web service, published in the special edition of Nucleic Acids Research on bioinformatics, will facilitate research about the genetic basis of hereditary diseases. The... view more...

Genes and environment interact in first graders to predict physical but not social aggression
Physical aggression in children comes from their genes and the environment in which they grow up. Social aggression, such as spreading rumors or ignoring other children, has less to do with genetic factors and more with environmental factors. view more (2008-02-07)
Individuals with family history of genetic disease at risk of discrimination
