Environmental stress probed in cardiovascular disease, diabetes
How environmental stress contributes to cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes is under study at the Medical College of Georgia. view more (2007-09-06)
Gene found for rare disorder may reveal new pathway in mental retardation
Studying mutations that give rise to a rare genetic disease, genetics researchers have identified a novel biological pathway that may have a broader role during human development, potentially in cases of mental retardation and autism. view more (2007-02-06)
Faster, cheaper way to find disease genes in human genome passes initial test
University of Washington (UW) researchers have successfully developed a novel genome-analysis strategy for more rapid, lower cost discovery of possible gene-disease links. view more (2009-08-18)
Human Proteinpedia, a portal to share human protein data among the scientific community
Today, scientists have access to a large amount of biological information through the Internet. Nevertheless, these databases do not always have the endorsement of experimental evidence, and are usually distributed in several web locations, a fact that makes information retrieval difficult to achieve. view more (2008-03-17)
International study identifies gene variants associated with early heart attack
The largest study ever completed of genetic factors associated with heart attacks has identified nine genetic regions - three not previously described - that appear to increase the risk for early-onset myocardial infarction. view more (2009-02-09)
Michigan Tech Mathematicians Identify Genes Linked to Lou Gehrig's Disease
Michigan Technological University researchers have linked three genes to the most common type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), generally known as Lou Gehrig's disease. view more (2009-09-10)
Scientists identify first gene linked to scoliosis
Physicians have recognized scoliosis, the abnormal curvature of the spine, since the time of Hippocrates, but its causes have remained a mystery -- until now. view more (2007-06-26)
Genotyping takes us closer to an osteoporosis fingerprint
For the first time ever, an extensive genome-wide search has been undertaken to find the genes linked to osteoporosis and fracture. Five regions of interest have been identified that appear to warrant further scientific investigation. view more (2008-04-30)
Technique enables efficient gene splicing in human embryonic stem cells
A novel technique allows researchers to efficiently and precisely modify or introduce genes into the genomes of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, according to Whitehead scientists. view more (2009-08-14)
Sex and the pond snail
A third-year undergraduate student at The University of Nottingham has had her research into the sex life of the pond snail published in a peer-reviewed journal. view more (2008-11-12)
What is a gene?
Even scientists define 'a gene' in different ways, so it comes as little surprise that the media also have various ways of framing the concept of a gene. view more (2008-09-08)
Study suggests nicotine addiction might be controlled by influencing brain mechanisms
There is a clear link between GABA - a chemical substance of the central nervous system that inhibits neurons in the brain - and nicotine dependence, according to a study presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting. view more (2007-12-10)
Researchers identify the gene responsible for a rare form of congenital anemia
The latest electronic edition of the journal Nature Genetics reports the discovery of a new gene responsible for congenital sideroblastic anemia, a rare disease, mainly characterized by the presence of ringed sideroblasts in the patients' bone marrow. view more (2009-05-11)
Not only the gene itself, its abnormal regulation can also trigger short stature
A specific gene is particularly frequently involved in the development of short stature. Researchers in Heidelberg have now discovered that sequences of genetic material on the X and Y chromosome that regulate this gene are also crucial for growth in children. view more (2009-08-26)
Genetics behind developmental brain disorders may play a wider role with congenital diseases
Findings of a recent genetic study on developmental brain disorders may be the "tip of an iceberg" revealing factors involved with a number of congenital diseases, according to UC Irvine researchers. view more (2006-07-07)
Received Truth Turned On End In Cancer Research
It has long been the accepted view of cancer researchers that there is a difference between the mechanism behind the development of leukemias, on the one hand, and solid tumors like breast cancer, prostate cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, etc, on the other. A research team at the Section for Clinical Genetics at Lund University in Sweden is now... view more... (2004-04-06)
Genetic marker linked to aggressive prostate cancer
Northwestern University researchers have discovered that a recently identified genetic marker for prostate cancer is linked to a highly aggressive form of the disease. view more (2007-05-21)
Tiny genetic differences have huge consequences: McGill researchers
A study led by McGill University researchers has demonstrated that small differences between individuals at the DNA level can lead to dramatic differences in the way genes produce proteins. view more (2008-01-21)
Scientists find major susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease
A consortium of American and Canadian researchers report in Science Express, a rapid online publication by the journal Science, the discovery of a new genetic link to Crohn's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
New Genetic Mechanism For Evolution
A team of researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has discovered that transposons, small DNA sequences that travel through the genomes, can silence the genes adjacent to them by inducing a molecule called antisense RNA. This is a new mechanism for evolution that has been unknown until now. The research has been recently... view more... (2004-07-16)
