An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma
A researcher at the University of Navarra, Borja Sáez Ochoa, has proposed a new genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma (MM), a type of bone marrow cancer, which permits the detection of this disease in earlier stages. view more (2006-09-12)
Public funding impacts progress of human embryonic stem cell research
Bolstered by supportive policies and public research dollars, the United Kingdom, Israel, China, Singapore and Australia are producing unusually large shares of human embryonic stem cell research, according to a report from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the June 2008 issue Cell Stem Cell. view more (2008-06-05)
Genetic roots of bipolar disorder revealed by first genome-wide study of illness
The likelihood of developing bipolar disorder depends in part on the combined, small effects of variations in many different genes in the brain, none of which is powerful enough to cause the disease by itself, a new study shows. view more (2007-05-08)
Genes Against By-Product-Coking Industry
How can workers be protected from detrimental production factors? Russian researchers have come to the conclusion that this can be done by a large number of actively working ribosomal genes. view more (2005-02-22)
Flexible genes allow ants to change destiny
The discovery of a flexible genetic coding in leaf-cutting ants sheds new light on how one of nature's ultimate self-organising species breeds optimum numbers of each worker type to ensure the smooth running of the colony. view more (2007-05-25)
Tiny Clue Reveals New Path Toward Heart Disease
Geneticists have discovered a new gene that may put individuals at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. view more (2007-03-23)
Deep sequencing study reveals new insights into human transcriptome
In a collaborative project scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin (MPI MolGen), Germany and Genomatix with a business in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, MI, USA, applied next generation sequencing and analysis methods to generate an unprecedented view at the human transcriptome. view more (2008-07-09)
Scientists identify new gene responsible for puberty disorders
A new gene responsible for some puberty disorders has been identified by Medical College of Georgia researchers. view more (2008-10-28)
Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have shown how broken sections of chromosomes can recombine to change genomes and spawn new species. view more (2008-08-14)
Protein interactions targets for Huntington disease therapy
The identification of more than 200 new proteins that interact with the mutated protein that causes Huntington's disease opens the door to developing treatments for the fatal neurodegenerative disorder. view more (2007-05-11)
American College of Medical Genetics affirms importance of newborn screening dried blood spots
The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) has issued a new Position Statement on the Importance of Residual Newborn Screening Dried Blood Spots. view more (2009-05-12)
Scientists uncover further steps leading to celiac disease
Scientists who last year identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, have, following continued research, discovered an additional seven gene regions implicated in causing the condition. view more (2008-03-03)
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)
Essential genes cluster clue to order in the genome
The identification of a cluster of essential genes on mouse chromosome 11 as well as similar clusters on the chromosomes of other organisms - including humans - buttresses the argument that there may be rules as to how genes are structured or laid out on chromosomes. view more (2007-05-04)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
Genetic risk, not anesthesia exposure, impacts cognitive performance
A recent study of more than 2,000 identical twins found that medical problems early in life, rather than the neurotoxic effects of anesthesia, are likely linked to an individual's risk for developing learning disabilities. view more (2009-08-05)
Genetic breakthrough offers promise in tackling kidney tumors
A new study has shown promising results in fighting a severe genetic disorder which can create tumours throughout the body. view more (2008-01-11)
Simple reason helps males evolve more quickly
he observation that males evolve more quickly than females has been around since 19th century biologist Charles Darwin noted the majesty of a peacock's tail feather in comparison with the plainness of the peahen's. view more (2007-11-15)
Flipped genetic sequences illuminate human evolution and disease
By comparing the human genome with that of the chimpanzee, man's closest living relative, researchers have discovered that chunks of similar DNA that have been flipped in orientation and reinserted into chromosomes are hundreds of times more common in primates than previously thought. view more (2005-10-26)
New candidate genes for schizophrenia identified
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disease characterized by disorganized behavior, delusions and hallucinations. Sadly, there is no clear understanding of its cause. view more (2008-10-21)
