Scientists use saliva's 'diagnostic alphabets' to diagnose disease
Today, during the 85th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, scientists are reporting that the use of saliva for clinical detection of major human diseases is only a few years away. view more (2007-03-22)
Deep sequencing study reveals new insights into human transcriptome
In a collaborative project scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin (MPI MolGen), Germany and Genomatix with a business in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, MI, USA, applied next generation sequencing and analysis methods to generate an unprecedented view at the human transcriptome. view more (2008-07-09)
Salivary diagnostics, the 'magic mirror' to your health ... at your personal computer
Accuracy, convenience, and non-invasiveness are the most critical characteristics for any diagnostic tool. A new concept, Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB), an in silico (i.e., performed on computer or via computer simulation) saliva diagnostic atlas, is launching today during the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research... view more...

A new systematic analysis of the relationship between the neoplastic and developmental transcriptome provides an outline of trends in cancer gene expression. view more (2008-08-18)
New plant study reveals a 'deeply hidden' layer of the transcriptome
Cells keep a close watch over the transcriptome - the totality of all parts of the genome that are expressed in any given cell at any given time. view more (2007-12-28)
GEN reports on expanding NextGen sequencing applications
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are not only beginning to supplant traditional Sanger sequencing methodology but are also giving DNA microarrays a run for the money as well, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-09-04)
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 processes, like transcription and replication, and... view more... (2002-10-01)
Learning the language of DNA
An international consortium of scientists, including a team from The University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), is a step closer to the next generation of treatments to combat disease, after publishing a comprehensive analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes. view more (2006-05-03)
GEN highlights increasing use of digital gene expression profiling
A novel technique for carrying out gene-expression profiling is set to challenge the market dominance of the current, widely used methodology, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-04-06)
Dental researchers confirm microRNAs as biomarkers for oral cancer detection
A new study published by researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry substantiates the effectiveness of measuring the microRNAs present in saliva to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma. view more (2009-08-26)
Solexa and collaborating scientists illuminate the small RNA component of the transcriptome
Solexa, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLXA) today announced that its researchers in collaboration with the Delaware Biotechnology Institute and the University of Delaware reported the most comprehensive analysis to date of the small RNA component of the transcriptome. view more (2005-09-07)
Study reveals new genes for excessive alcohol drinking
Researchers supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have identified new genes that may contribute to excessive alcohol consumption. view more (2006-04-18)
Will IVF work for a particular patient? The answer may be found in her blood
For the first time, researchers have been able to identify genetic predictors of the potential success or failure of IVF treatment in blood. view more (2009-07-01)
'Pregnant' protein-coding genes carry RNA 'babies'
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have performed a comprehensive analysis of small, non-protein-coding RNAs in the model nematode, C. elegans. view more (2006-01-10)
Detecting transmissibility of avian influenza virus in human households
Recent outbreaks of emerging diseases such as SARS and H5N1 avian influenza have underlined the fact that animal pathogens may acquire the ability to spread efficiently in humans - but as yet have not. view more (2007-07-26)
Human Genetic Research: House Of Lords Debate
As the second main item of business on Tuesday 15 January (starting between about 5pm and 6pm), the House of Lords is to debate the Science and Technology Committee's recent report Human Genetic Databases: challenges and opportunities together with the Government's response. The debate will be opened by Lord Oxburgh (Ron Oxburgh, the former Rector... view more... (2002-01-09)
UN Strategies To Promote Human Rights Of Women Not As Successful As Claimed
The United Nations' strategies to increase gender equality in the field of human rights have increased our knowledge of the situation of women, but in the meantime the variety of violations has become invisible. This is one of the findings of a doctoral dissertation in international law written by Sari Kouvo of the School of Economics and... view more... (2004-08-17)
