Novel DNA microarray chip predicts functional impairment and remission in rheumatoid arthritis
A new DNA microarray chip can predict severe disability and remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France. The chip (called the 'ARTchip') has yielded two clinical-genetic models... view more (2008-06-16)

Study identifies common flaws in oncology microarray studies
A substantial percentage of microarray-based studies in oncology contain critical flaws in analysis or in their conclusions, reports a study in the January 17 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2007-01-17)

New diagnostic tool brings effective treatment closer to cancer patients
Significant progress towards identifying the genetic make-up of individual tumours, hence allowing treatment choices to be made based on personalised information, was announced at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today. Dr. Alane Koki, Chief Scientific Officer of Ipsogen, a French... view more (2004-03-15)

Candidate genes found which may play a role in cancer progressing from non-invasive to invasive
Scientists in America have made the first steps in identifying a group of genes which may be involved in the progression of breast cancer from non-invasive to invasive, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Thursday 21 March).   view more (2002-03-19)

Researchers find groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer
A method of rapidly "scanning" thousands of genes has revealed groups of genes associated with different types and stages of breast cancer. Some genes also appear to be able to indicate women's chances of survival, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference heard on Saturday 23 March. Dr... view more (2002-03-21)

Chips could speed up detection of livestock viruses
Some of the worst threats to farm workers and farm animals such as bird flu, foot-and-mouth disease and other emerging viruses could soon be quickly identified by using a simple screening chip developed by scientists from the Institute for Animal Health, scientists will hear today (Monday 31 March... view more (2008-03-31)

"Sloppy Genes" Behave Like Their Neighbours: New Findings Reveal That The Regulation Of Gene Expression Is Much Less Strictly Controlled Than Was Previously Thought
The inaugural issue of Journal of Biology features groundbreaking research that challenges the traditional view of how genes are controlled. Our current understanding of gene expression, the fundamental process by which proteins are made from the instructions encoded in DNA, is that the process is... view more (2002-06-13)

International research team identifies gene that promotes prostate cancer
