Spanish Scientists Develop Powerful New Tool For Exploration And Integration Of Biological Information
Robert Hoffmann and Alfonso Valencia of the Spanish National Centre of Biotechnology (CNB/CSIC) in Madrid have developed a new web-based tool called iHOP (Information Hyperlinked over Proteins) to help researchers explore scientific literature and integrate information in a more controlled and targeted manner. Reporting in the Nature Genetics... view more... (2004-07-06)
Out-of-whack protein may boost Parkinson's
A single change in a protein may play a role in whether someone develops Parkinson's disease, say University of Florida Genetics Institute researchers writing in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-02-27)
Media representatives are invited to the European launch of the 19th International Congress of Genetics at Australia House, Strand
"We've got this model" said Francis Crick to photographer Antony Barrington Brown. It was the double helix structure of DNA - the discovery that kick-started the genetics revolution 50 years ago. Meet the photographer who caught the moment, with Watson and Crick standing by an array of stands, rods and balls. And get prepared for the... view more... (2003-01-19)
Finnish families guide to gene behind abnormal lipid levels and atherosclerosis
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in Western societies. Unfavorable serum lipid levels, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, are well-known risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), characterized by these changes in... view more... (2004-03-01)
IntegraGen to take a leading role in unraveling the genetics of obesity in a EUR14.5M EU funded program
IntegraGen, the personalized medicines company, is to take a significant role in the DiOgenes (Diet, Obesity and Genes) project. IntegraGen is one of a consortium of 30 EU organizations that has been awarded EUR14.5M to carry out a coordinated investigation into a broad range of factors influencing weight gain, from diet intervention to gene... view more...

When it comes to sleep research, fruit flies and people make unlikely bedfellows
You may never hear fruit flies snore, but rest assured that when you're asleep they are too. According to research published in the January 2009 issue of the journal GENETICS, scientists from the University of Missouri-Kansas City have shown that the circadian rhythms (sleep/wake cycles) of fruit flies and vertebrates are regulated by some of the... view more...

Homosexual behavior due to genetics and environmental factors
Homosexual behaviour is largely shaped by genetics and random environmental factors, according to findings from the world's largest study of twins. view more (2008-06-30)
K-State contributions to red flour beetle genome sequencing featured in March 27 issue of Nature
Most of us hate to find the red flour beetle living happily in the flour sack in our pantries. But for several scientists at Kansas State University, and many others throughout the world, this pest of stored grain and grain products is the best organism for studying genetics. view more (2008-03-24)
Alcohol Tolerance Switch Found in Fruit Flies
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found a genetic "switch" in fruit flies that plays an important role in making flies more tolerant to alcohol. view more (2009-10-22)
SEK 20 million for brain tumor research
The M'Īrit and Hans Rausing Charitable Foundation in England has awarded SEK 20 million over five years to a research team at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University in Sweden. The team is conducting the so-called BRIGTT Project (BRain Immuno Gene Tumor Therapy), which is pursuing laboratory work and clinical research to try to find new methods... view more... (2003-06-25)
Human genetic databases - Publication of evidence
The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee has today published the written evidence received in its new Inquiry into Human Genetic Databases. Lord Oxburgh, who chairs the Sub-Committee undertaking the Inquiry, said: "This is a unique and invaluable description of current activities in human genetic databases, mainly in the words of... view more...

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)
Dartmouth researchers get personal with genetics
Two recent studies by Dartmouth researchers use individual genetic data to reveal the powers and limits of our current understanding of how the genome influences human health and what genes can reveal about the ancestry of the people of New Hampshire. view more (2009-09-16)
Genetics of ALS progression
An upcoming paper from Drs. Hidenori Ichijo and Hideki Nishitoh (The University of Tokyo) and colleagues lends new and valuable insight into the genetics of ALS. view more (2008-06-02)
Developmental delay could stem from nicotinic receptor deletion
The loss of a gene through deletion of genetic material on chromosome 15 is associated with significant abnormalities in learning and behavior, said a consortium of researchers led by Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu) in a report that appears online today in the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2009-11-09)
Possible to detect causes of autism in over a third of cases
It may be possible to find the causes for autism in over a third of cases, suggests research in the Journal of Medical Genetics. And these are likely to include a range of factors. view more (2002-03-11)
Gene variation is 'major genetic determinant of psoriasis'
A specific genetic region that has been increasingly identified as the strongest genetic link to psoriasis has an even more significant role in the chronic skin disease than has been suspected, University of Utah medical researchers show in a new study. view more (2009-08-28)
Tiny differences in our genes help shed light on the big picture of human history
By examining very small differences in people's genes, scientists from Cornell University have developed a new tool for identifying big events in human history and pinpointing the origins of specific gene mutations. view more (2009-04-30)
Groundbreaking findings on autism to be presented at Carnegie Mellon international symposium
Today's autism research draws on a variety of scientific disciplines, from genetics to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to neural development. At the 35th Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, "Development and Brain Systems in Autism," 16 of the world's most prominent autism researchers will present their latest groundbreaking... view more...
