Jumping genes discovery 'challenges current assumptions'
Jumping genes do most of their jumping, not during the development of sperm and egg cells, but during the development of the embryo itself. view more (2009-06-12)
Chicken genome gives insights into human genome
The draft sequence of the wild chicken, Gallus gallus, will be published in the Dec 9th issue of Nature (cover story). The analysis of this genome is not about getting bigger eggs and tastier chicken - it's giving scientists surprising insights into the human genome. Researchers can use these new data as a tool to identify similar sequences in... view more... (2004-12-06)
First whole genome sequencing of family of 4 reveals new genetic power
The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) has analyzed the first whole genome sequences of a human family of four. view more (2010-03-11)
Genes in rheumatoid arthritis
A paper published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine provides strong evidence that one specific part of the genome is associated with rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2007-09-18)
New technique adds precision and permanence to gene therapy
Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers cured PKU in mice with new gene therapy technique. view more (2005-10-11)
Protein 'chatter' linked to cancer activation
Scientists have found the existence of cross-talk between human chromosome ends and the protein complexes central to the stability of the entire human genome, a "chat" that contributes to cancer development. view more (2007-08-14)
Major milestone in human genome story: Affymetrix launches the whole human genome on a single chip
Affymetrix Announces Commercial Launch of Single Array for Human Genome Expression Analysis view more (2003-10-02)
LSU scientists develop new theory about human genome evolution
A group of LSU researchers, led by biological sciences Professor Mark Batzer, have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Their study focused on the origin and spread of transposable elements in the genome, many of which are known to be related to certain genetic disorders, such as hemophilia. view more (2005-07-01)
Scripps Research and GIS scientists map epigenome of human stem cells during development
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and The Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) led an international effort to build a map that shows in detail how the human genome is modified during embryonic development. view more (2010-02-04)
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)
Study finds value in 'junk' DNA
For about 15 years, scientists have known that certain "junk" DNA -- repetitive DNA segments previously thought to have no function -- could evolve into exons, which are the building blocks for protein-coding genes in higher organisms like animals and plants. view more (2008-10-17)
DNA variations linked to brain tumors
Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found a connection between DNA alterations on human chromosome 9 and aggressive brain cancer known as glioblastoma. view more (2009-07-06)
Chromosomal microarray analysis proves accurate
Two years and more than 2,000 samples after researchers at Baylor College of Medicine started to use a new gene-chip technology called chromosomal microarray analysis to look for potential genetic abnormalities in children, they find that it is remarkably sensitive in detecting abnormalities in individual chromosomes. view more (2007-03-30)
Cold Spring Harbor Scientists Devise Novel, Low-Cost Method of Sifting Genome's High-Value Regions
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have developed a new means of extracting and interpreting data from the human genome that is more powerful and more economical than methods currently employed. view more (2007-11-07)
Brain gene shows dramatic difference from chimp to human
One of the fastest-evolving pieces of DNA in the human genome is a gene linked to brain development. view more (2006-08-17)
New methods offer insight into regulatory DNA
Through the Human Genome Project, the HapMap Project and other efforts, we are beginning to identify genes that are modified in some diseases. More difficult to measure and identify are the regulatory regions in DNA - the 'managers' of genes - that control gene activity and might be important in causing disease. view more (2005-12-16)
Inventory of Genes
Scientists at DKFZ screen fruit fly genome for cancer-relevant genes Dr. Michael Boutros of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and an international team of collaborators have been the first to screen an almost complete genome for genes that could play a role in cancer. The results have been published in the... view more... (2004-02-09)
Mate selection more biologically determined in some human populations
Some human populations may rely on biological factors in addition to social factors when selecting a mate. In a recent study, published September 12 in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics, scientists in China, France, and the United Kingdom report genomic data showing that immunity traits may be involved in mate choice in some human populations. view more (2008-09-12)
Cataloging the Structural Variations in Human Genetics
A major new effort to uncover the medium- and large-scale genetic differences between humans may soon reveal DNA sequences that contribute to a wide range of diseases. view more (2007-05-10)
Researchers publish first marsupial genome sequence
An international team, led by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced the publication of the first genome of a marsupial, belonging to a South American species of opossum. view more (2007-05-10)
