The Ethics of Patenting DNA and Proteins
Many companies and universities throughout the world are seeking to file patents on gene sequences and proteins. Questions remain, however, over the moral implications of protecting rights to property in this kind of way. The Nuffield Council on Bioethics is holding a series of Roundtable meetings to consider the ethical and legal issues raised by... view more... (2000-09-06)
Standards for a new genomic era
A team of geneticists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, together with a consortium of international researchers, has recently proposed a set of standards designed to elucidate the quality of publicly available genetic sequencing information. view more (2009-10-22)

Mayo Clinic researchers zero in on diagnosing sometimes fatal heart rhythm disorder
Long QT syndrome is an uncommon, and sometimes fatal, heart rhythm disorder that is often present from birth. view more (2006-04-04)
Survival rates exceed national averages for UCSF heart, liver and lung transplant programs
One-year survival rates for patients receiving heart, liver and lung transplants at UCSF Medical Center exceed national averages at statistically significant levels, according to new data compiled by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). view more (2008-03-03)
Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)
Comparing chimp and human DNA
Scientists look to the chimpanzee genome to better understand what is uniquely human about our own. One goal is to find DNA elements that show evidence of rapid evolution in the human lineage. view more (2006-10-13)
Researchers develop powerful tool to study the genetics of inflammation
Scientists have known which genes are linked to inflammation, but now researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have organized this information to develop a powerful tool to aid investigators in studying the genetics of inflammatory diseases. view more (2007-11-30)
European project opens way for better understanding of human diseases
In the edition of Nature dated Thursday 21 February 2002, an international team of scientists report their analysis of the genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). The project, largely funded through a EUR6.9 million from the European Commission, is likely to have major implications for the future of cancer and other bio-medical... view more... (2002-02-20)
Gene identified for Crohn's disease in children
Pediatrics researchers have identified a gene variant that raises a child's risk of Crohn's disease, a chronic and painful condition attributed to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. view more (2007-07-19)

Genetic information personalizes warfarin prescribing
Warfarin, one of the world's most widely used drugs, is also one of the trickiest to prescribe. Half of those who take it are at risk of serious problems when given the standard starting dose. view more (2009-02-19)
New genomic test can personalize breast cancer treatment
A set of 50 genes can be used to reliably identify the four known types of breast cancer, according to research conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and collaborating institutions. view more (2009-02-10)
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...

Mapping the crocodile genome
The first ever genetic linkage map for a non-avian member of the Class Reptilia has been developed. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have constructed a first-generation genetic linkage map for the saltwater crocodile Crocodylus porosus. view more (2009-07-29)
International consortium announces the 1000 Genomes Project
An international research consortium today announced the 1000 Genomes Project, an ambitious effort to sequence the genomes of at least 1000 people to create the most detailed and medically useful catalogue to date of human genetic variation. view more (2008-01-23)
Agricultural research key to food security
Boosting agricultural research in the developing world is the key to ensuring food security for the world's poorest, says Adel el-Beltagy, Chair of the Global Form on Agricultural Research (GFAR), writing in the latest issue of the TWAS Newsletter, published last week. view more (2009-08-04)
GENO*™ : a French consortium for the development of an informatics platform for exploratory genomics
Genomics yield large amounts of complex data of various types (sequences, gene localization and expression, proteins,"¦). The exploitation of this information which ultimately leads to the analysis of gene function, requires tools to represent, crosscheck, organize and compare these data. view more (1999-12-13)
Learning how the pieces responsible for interpreting the human genome work
The human genome complete sequencing project in 2003 revealed the enormous instruction manual necessary to define a human being. However, there are still many unanswered questions. There are few indications on where the functional elements are found in this manual. view more (2009-04-22)
