Primary care practitioners need to become genetically literate
Increasing availability of DNA based tests and demand by patients for genetic information and advice mean that primary care practitioners will need to become genetically literate. A paper in this week's BMJ discusses the implications of genetic advances for primary care. Currently, the most important elements for primary care are prediction of... view more... (2001-04-24)
ROYAL SOCIETY MEDAL FOR REVOLUTIONARY GENETIC RESEARCH AT THE JOHN INNES CENTRE
The research group headed by Professor Gale and Dr Moore was the first to produce a map which described in detail the organisation of the genetic information in wheat. They were surprised to find that modern-day bread-wheat and its ancient ancestors, although separated by about a million years of evolution, had remained almost identical in terms... view more...

Drunken fruit flies help scientists find potential drug target for alcoholism
A group of drunken fruit flies have helped researchers from North Carolina State and Boston universities identify entire networks of genes-also present in humans-that play a key role in alcohol drinking behavior. view more (2009-11-04)
It's a gas: New discovery may lead to heartier, high-yielding plants
In a research report published in the November 2009 issue of the journal GENETICS, scientists show how a family of genes (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase, or ACS genes) are responsible for production of ethylene. view more (2009-11-23)
How body size is regulated: International study discovers ten new genes related to human growth
Scientists are beginning to unravel the question why people distinctly vary in size. view more (2008-05-12)
Compromised skin barrier function plays a role in psorasis development
Researchers at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and the Anhui Medical University, China, have identified genes that play an important role in the development of psoriasis, a common chronic skin disease. view more (2009-01-26)
Researchers discover gene for branchio-oculo-facial syndrome
In a collaborative effort, researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered that deletions or mutations within the TFAP2A gene (Activating Enhancer-Binding Protein) result in the distinctive clefting disorder Branchio-Oculo-Facial syndrome (BOFS). view more (2008-04-24)
American College of Medical Genetics responds to new FDA labeling decision for warfarin

Scientists move a step closer to understanding why leopards can't change their spots
The leopard cannot change its spots, nor can the tiger change its stripes, but a new research report published in the January 2009 issue of the journal GENETICS tells us something about how cats end up with their spots and stripes. view more (2010-01-14)
New research provides new insight into age-related muscle decline
If you think the air outside is polluted, a new research report in the September 2009 issue of the journal Genetics might make you to think twice about the air inside our bodies too. view more (2009-09-23)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms and forensic genetics, maybe not such a perfect combination
Forensic genetics is the branch of genetics that, through DNA analysis and comparison, deals with the resolution of legal problems such as paternity tests. Recently, it has been proposed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could be used as a new genetic marker in the field eventually even replacing the methods/markers now employed. But in... view more... (2004-10-21)
New Human Genetics Commission Announces 2000/2001 Workplan
Following the major announcement this week of the decoding of the Human Genome, the Human Genetics Commission, the new Government body set up to provide strategic advice on human genetic technologies, has today announced its workplan. This will principally involve looking at the many issues surrounding the storage, protection and use of genetic... view more... (2000-06-29)
Researchers shed light on genetic factors behind UK's biggest killer

A genetic basis for schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating psychiatric disease that is thought to have its roots in the development of the nervous system; however, major breakthroughs linking its genetics to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment are still unrealized. view more (2009-07-22)
Royal recognition for world-renowned achievements in Genetics
The University of Leicester has been selected as a winner of the Queen's Anniversary Prize - a tremendous accolade for the University which has now achieved this highest distinction twice in less than a decade. The University is to be honoured by Her Majesty The Queen for its world-renowned achievements in Genetics - the only 5-star rated genetics... view more... (2002-11-15)
