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)

Media Invitation to Human Genome Meeting
As we enter what has been dubbed the "post-genomic" era, HGM2004, the annual meeting of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), will focus on the future of genome research. The 2004 meeting will look at what will come next in our understanding of human genetics, considering the hopes for... view more (2004-02-06)

DNA repair mechanisms are concentrated in the active parts of the genome
Less than 10% of the human genome contains coded information in the form of genes. The 30,000-40,000 genes in the genome are found grouped in discrete regions of the chromosomes. Chemical agents and radiation habitually cause a large variety of injuries to the DNA which interferes in many cell... view more (2002-10-01)

Search for the 'on' switches may reveal genetic role in development and disease
A new resource that identifies regions of the human genome that regulate gene expression may help scientists learn about and develop treatments for a number of human diseases, according to researchers at Duke's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP).   view more (2008-01-25)

10 per cent of human genome is target for new drugs
Around 10 per cent of the human genome can be targeted for the development of new drugs, according to top pharmaceutical industry scientists speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd September 2001].

Rapid, Functional, Genome-wide Drug Discovery Enabled
Munich, Germany, November 18th, 2003. Xantos Biomedicine AG, a leading functional biology and drug discovery company, announced that it has expanded its collection of full-length human cDNA clones in mammalian expression vectors to 35,000, representing one of the world's largest collections. The... view more (2003-11-18)

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)

This marks the first publicly... view more (2002-07-23)

Chicken genome will help our understanding of humans and improve agriculture
The first full DNA sequence of the chicken (Gallus gallus) genome is published today in the journal Nature. UK scientists have worked closely with 170 researchers from 49 institutes worldwide, to interpret the genome of the chicken. They believe it will help us to understand more about the biology... view more (2004-12-07)
