What do trance lyrics really mean?
Medieval English Professor Greg Walker got in the groove with the word on the street to assess the literary merits of the latest club mixes. The University of Leicester academic, from the Department of English, has just examined trance music hits for Mixmag - the world's biggest clubbing and dance magazine. Professor Walker, Director of University... view more... (2003-07-02)
'Warrior Gene' Predicts Aggressive Behavior After Provocation
Individuals with the so-called "warrior gene" display higher levels of aggression in response to provocation, according to new research co-authored by Rose McDermott, professor of political science at Brown University. view more (2009-01-21)
Modernity versus manhood - the Maasai quest
A new study being carried out at the University of Leicester traces the erosion of the traditional concept of Maasai manhood and the emergence of new role for Maasais- reliving their warrior dreams in paid employment, business or trading in livestock. view more (2004-09-17)
Economist Says Trading Life for Identity is Key to the “Logic” of Suicide Terrorism
Suicide terrorism seems to many to defy logic. Economists find the idea particularly hard to understand in the context of economic theories that are usually based on ideas of self interest: surely self interest must preclude self killing? But now a new research paper by Professor Mark Harrison an economist at the University of Warwick says that... view more... (2003-03-26)
New study shows that therapeutic gene expression can be sustainable for 1 year
Researchers at the Board of Governors Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown for the first time that it is possible to sustain therapeutic gene expression in the central nervous system for up to a year, even in the presence of an anti-viral immune response mechanism that is normally present in humans. view more (2007-10-26)
Looping genes may hold a key to understanding breast cancer
Another piece of the puzzle that is breast cancer has been found by University of Queensland researchers. view more (2008-04-09)
Gene expression in labor; and more — press release from PLoS Medicine
A Research Article, Perspective and e-Letter all published today discuss the use of microarrays to discover genes involved in childbirth. The three papers highlight the complexity of such gene expression analyses but also how crucial it is to make original data available for reanalysis. view more (2006-06-13)
Iowa State researcher studies gene families to explore diversity and evolution
Theoretical biologist Stephen Proulx studies gene families to explore how genomes become diverse and evolve. view more (2006-08-01)
Salt of the Earth
A yeast gene responsible for salt tolerance has successfully been used to grow tobacco in a salty environment lethal to most plants. Dr Janey Henderson and Professor Phil Harris from Coventry University inserted the halotolerance gene HAL1 from yeast into a tobacco plant. HAL1 has previously been shown to confer salt tolerance in transgenic tomato... view more... (2001-04-04)

First Parkinson's Gene Therapy Patient Passes One Year
The first ever patient to have undergone gene therapy for Parkinson's appears to have come through phase I without a hitch, suggesting that the therapy is safe and effective, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry. view more (2004-09-02)
Dardarina, the Basque gene for Parkinson's
Research began when doctors discovered that various members of the same family had Parkinson's. There are many kinds of Parkinson's and some are hereditary. Now, a group of scientists have identified the gene which produces the hereditary Park8 variant of Parkinson's in four Basque families and another in the UK. The gene is called dardarina; a... view more... (2004-11-04)
Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These polymers effectively transport the transferable... view more...

Bats add their voice to the FOXP2 story
When it comes to the FOXP2 gene, humans have had most to shout about. Discoveries that mutations in this gene lead to speech defects and that the gene underwent changes around the time language evolved both implicate FOXP2 in the evolution of human language. view more (2007-09-19)
U of Minnesota researchers find master gene behind blood vessel development
In a first of its kind discovery, University of Minnesota researchers have identified the "master gene" behind blood vessel development. Better understanding of how this gene operates in the early stages of development may help researchers find better treatments for heart disease and cancer. view more (2009-02-05)
Would you like gene chips with your salad ?
The first public release of plant gene chip information is being launched at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in Swansea on Friday 12th April. Scientists from the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC), part of a multi-million pound resource network, will announce a newly accessible plant gene chip database which is available... view more...

There are two major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). view more (2008-01-03)
Mouse gene shows new mechanism behind cardiac infarction in man
A gene that, in different variants, increases or decreases the level of atherosclerosis has been identified in mice. The corresponding human gene has been shown to play a role in the development of myocardial infarction. The results of the study is published this week on Nature Genetics Online. view more (2005-03-08)
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)
