Complexity of Crohn's disease revealed as 'gene' count tops 30
New research has trebled the number of genetic regions known to be implicated in Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, to over thirty. View More (2008-06-30)
UF scientists identify cancer virus' genetic targets
University of Florida researchers have identified specific human genes targeted by a virus believed to cause Kaposi's sarcoma, a rare form of cancer associated with AIDS and with organ transplants that causes patches of red or purple tissue to grow under people's skin. View More (2007-05-11)
Should the results of individual genetic studies be disclosed to participants?
Individual results of genetic research studies should not be disclosed to participants without careful consideration, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics today. View More (2010-06-14)
New report tackles controversial research into genes and behaviour
Embryos should not be selected for behavioural traits such as intelligence on the basis of genetic information, according to a Report published today (2 October) by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. The Report, Genetics and human behaviour: the ethical context, looks at ethical, legal and social issues that are raised by research into behavioural genetics. Research to find out how our genes...

Reconstructed 1918 flu virus providing insights for potential pandemics
For the first time, this deadly 1918 Spanish flue virus has been reconstructed and characterized. View More (2005-10-06)
Association between famine and schizophrenia may yield clues about inherited diseases and conditions
The higher risk of schizophrenia among offspring of expectant mothers living through famine could help us understand the genetic basis for that debilitating mental disorder. View More (2006-08-02)
Genetic differences may influence sensitivity to pain, according to new study
The study, published in PLOS Genetics on 20 December, adds to growing evidence that particular genes are involved in chronic pain and highlights this pathway as a potential target for more effective pain relief treatments for patients. View More (2012-12-21)
Are there biosocial origins for antisocial behavior?
An assistant professor at Sam Houston State University, College of Criminal Justice is working to unlock the mysteries surrounding the role that genetics and environmental influences play on criminal and antisocial behavior. View More (2012-02-22)
National asthma genetics consortium releases first results
A new national collaboration of asthma genetics researchers has revealed a novel gene associated with the disease in African-Americans, according to a new scientific report. View More (2011-08-01)
Scientists unwrap DNA packaging to gain insight into cells
Scientists have built a clearer picture of how lengthy strands of DNA are concertinaed when our cells grow and divide, in a discovery could help explain how cell renewal can go wrong. View More (2010-09-03)
U of MN researchers link early brain development to adult-onset neurodegenerative disease
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Human Genetics have shown for the first time that the severity of an adult neurodegenerative disease is tied to how well the brain developed shortly after birth. View More (2006-11-17)
Barley protein concentrate could replace fishmeal in aquaculture feeds
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and Montana Microbial Products (MMP) of Butte, Mont., have developed a barley protein concentrate that could be fed to trout and other commercially produced fish. View More (2010-02-08)
Study reveals 2 genes linked to disabling arthritis
An international team of researchers led by a Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center geneticist has discovered two genes linked to a disabling form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, a painful and progressive disease in which some or all of the spine's vertebrae fuse together. View More (2007-10-22)
'Different forms of flowers' continues to fascinate
Although Charles Darwin is most well-known both for his book "On the Origin of Species" and his theories on natural selection, he once stated, "I do not think anything in my scientific life has given me so much satisfaction as making out the meaning of the structure of these plants." What could be more satisfying than unraveling the mysteries of evolution? View More (2010-04-30)
Gene discovered for Weaver syndrome
Scientists have found a gene that causes Weaver syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that typically causes large size at birth, tall stature, developmental delay during childhood, and intellectual disability. View More (2011-12-16)
Dog DNA study yields clues to diverse size of breeds
From the smallest Chihuahua to the largest Great Dane, dogs dramatically vary in size, much more than most other animals. Now scientists have discovered a genetic basis for this diversity. View More (2007-04-06)
UC Davis study finds distinct genetic profiles
An international team of scientists lead by researchers at UC Davis Health System has found that, with respect to genetics, modern Europeans fall into two groups: a Northern group and a Southern, or Mediterranean one. View More (2006-09-18)
Fruit Fly Aggression Studies Have Relevance to Animal, Human Populations
Even the tiny, mild-mannered fruit fly can be a little mean sometimes - especially when there's a choice bit of rotten fruit to fight over. And, like people, some flies have shorter tempers than others. View More (2006-09-21)
Informatics approach helps doctors, patients make sense of genome data
The cost of sequencing the entire human genome, or exome - the regions of the genome that are translated into proteins that affect cell behavior - has decreased significantly, to the point where the cost of looking at the majority of a patient's genomic data may be less expensive than undertaking one or two targeted genetic tests.

23andMe contributes to genetic discoveries related to male pattern baldnes
Using data from its unique online research platform, 23andMe, a leading personal genetics company, has contributed to the finding of six novel genetic associations for early onset male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in a genome-wide association study now published online in the journal PLoS Genetics.
