Role of microRNA Identified in Thyroid Cancer
The presence of only five tiny strands of RNA is enough to clearly distinguish cancerous thyroid tissue from otherwise normal tissue, scientists say. view more (2005-12-23)
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)
Genetic tests could define us all as patients
Genetic science could drive a new wave of medicalisation if genetics tests are accepted without appropriate evaluation, warn researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-04-10)
Differences in sexual desire can be attributed to genetic variances
New evidence that individual differences in human sexual desire can be attributed to genetic variations has been revealed by a research group headed by a professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. view more (2006-05-31)
Researchers announce results of study on genetic variation in Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have completed one of the first large-scale studies of the role of common genetic variation in Parkinson's disease (PD). view more (2006-09-28)
Genes hold the key to how happy we are, scientists say
Happiness in life is as much down to having the right genetic mix as it is to personal circumstances according to a recent study. view more (2008-03-05)
Scientists find mutations that let bird flu adapt to humans
By comparing influenza viruses found in birds with those of the avian virus that have also infected human hosts, researchers have identified key genetic changes required for pandemic strains of bird flu. view more (2006-11-16)
Sex: Why bother? Evolutionary mysteries probed at UH
What advantage did sex offer when it first appeared and why does sex persist in modern organisms, stopping them from becoming asexual again? view more (2006-03-02)
Tumor cells that border normal tissue are told to leave
The thin, single-cell boundary where a tumor meets normal tissue is the most dangerous part of a cancer according to a new study by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-01-11)
Same Genes May Underlie Alcohol and Nicotine Co-Abuse
Vulnerability to both alcohol and nicotine abuse may be influenced by the same genetic factor, according to a recent study supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2006-03-20)
Accelerated evolution converts RNA enzyme to DNA enzyme in vitro
This 'evolutionary conversion' provides a modern-day snapshot of how life as we understand it may have first evolved out of the earliest primordial mix of RNA-like molecules-sometimes referred to as the "pre-RNA world"-into a more complex form of RNA-based life (or the "RNA world") and eventually to cellular life based on DNA... view more...

Hermaphroditic plants have genetic advantage in areas where extinctions are frequent
In one of the first studies to empirically compare the reproductive success of hermaphrodites and male and female populations, biologists from the University of Oxford make use of the rare and extreme sexual diversity displayed in a species of European weed to test the hypothesis that hermaphrodites have been selected in regions with frequent... view more...

How can identical twins be genetically different?
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything, including their genes. But sometimes only one twin will have health problems when genetics predicts both of them should. view more (2006-07-26)
Cambridge led team discovers gene mutation which prevents carriers from feeling pain
Researchers have discovered a gene mutation which prevents the otherwise healthy carriers from sensing pain, after studying three related families with a rare genetic disorder in northern Pakistan. view more (2006-12-14)
Species evolve to the brink of evolution
A biologist at The University of Texas at Austin has presented a new theory that sheds light on how organisms, including viruses like HIV, rapidly evolve in the face of vaccines and antibiotics. view more (2005-08-29)
Study implicates potassium channel mutations in neurodegeneration and mental retardation
For the first time, researchers have linked mutations in a gene that regulates how potassium enters cells to a neurodegenerative disease and to another disorder that causes mental retardation and coordination problems. view more (2006-02-27)
Why some people are more attractive than others
Researchers believe they have solved a mystery that has puzzled evolutionary scientists for years ... if 'good' genes spread through the population, why are individuals so different? view more (2007-03-28)
Mutation rate in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for testing cancer risk
A new study to detect an elevated rate of mutations in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for developing a test that could identify individuals at risk for developing cancer. view more (2005-09-16)
Evolution: fish select for the survival of teh fittest
An important breakthrough has been made in determining the forces responsible for the evolution of populations in nature. By studying wild populations of grayling (a close relative of salmon), Mikko Koskinen and Craig Primmer at the University of Helsinki and Thrond Haugen at the University of Oslo found that natural selection, a force suggested... view more...

Aquaporin and obesity
Dr. Gema Fr√°hbeck, director of the Metabolic Research Laboratory of the University Hospital of the University of Navarra, has published a commentary in the latest issue of Nature. view more (2005-12-21)
