Scientists pool information to boost understanding of drug action
As a result of the Human Genome Project, scientists now know the human DNA codes for about 20,000-25,000 genes, each of which could be a target for the development of new medicines. However, most scientists believe that only about 10% of these genes are likely targets for the drugs of the future.   view more (2005-12-01)

Role of autophagy in tumorigenesis
In the June 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Eileen White and colleagues at Rutgers University/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Cancer Institute of New Jersey, report, for the first time, that the cellular self-digesting process of autophagy can protect genome integrity - lending new... view more (2007-05-18)

New computer cluster solves 3500-year old game
Dutch computer scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have solved the game of awari. With optimal play from both players, the game ends in a draw. Awari (a mancala variant, that is also known as wari, owari, awalé, awélé, and ayo) is an ancient board game that... view more (2002-08-29)

Have The Police Hijacked Our DNA? (p 927)
Creating a DNA database of all UK men to assist in criminal investigations may sound extreme; however this week's editorial proposes that there has been no more rational option to date in an attempt to use DNA profiling to assist in the identification of violent offenders in the UK, 80% of whom are... view more (2003-09-17)

Few clues about African ancestry to be found in mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA may not hold the key to your origins after all. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Biology reveals that fewer than 10% of African American mitochondrial DNA sequences analysed can be matched to mitochondrial DNA from one single African ethnic group.   view more (2006-10-12)

New method for early detection of side-effects of drugs
Using a so-called "data-mining" method, it is possible to automatically find previously unknown side-effects of drugs in the huge WHO database of side-effect reports. This is demonstrated in a doctoral dissertation by Andrew Bate at Ume'å University in Sweden. The use of... view more (2003-06-13)

Keep genome data freely accessible (p 1099)
This week's lead editorial discusses the benefits and potential risks of allowing genomic information to be freely available on the internet-and supports the recent report by the US National Research Council recommending that such information should remain freely accessible to all.   view more (2004-09-22)

University of Leeds opens textile archives to design community

The human immune system may limit future evolution
Scientists from Imperial College London have suggested why the human genome may possess far fewer genes than previously estimated before the human genome project was begun. Research published in the July issue of Trends in Immunology, shows how a more advanced immune system in humans could explain... view more (2002-07-01)
