Study reveals 2 genes linked to disabling arthritis
An international team of researchers led by a Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center geneticist has discovered two genes linked to a disabling form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, a painful and progressive disease in which some or all of the spine's vertebrae fuse together. view more (2007-10-22)
Genetic roots of bipolar disorder revealed by first genome-wide study of illness
The likelihood of developing bipolar disorder depends in part on the combined, small effects of variations in many different genes in the brain, none of which is powerful enough to cause the disease by itself, a new study shows. view more (2007-05-08)
Manchester researchers identify gene behind rheumatoid arthritis
University of Manchester researchers have identified a genetic variant in a region on chromosome 6 that is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common inflammatory arthritis affecting 387,000 people in the UK. view more (2007-11-05)
Dog DNA study yields clues to diverse size of breeds
From the smallest Chihuahua to the largest Great Dane, dogs dramatically vary in size, much more than most other animals. Now scientists have discovered a genetic basis for this diversity. view more (2007-04-06)
Media representatives are invited to the European launch of the 19th International Congress of Genetics at Australia House, Strand
"We've got this model" said Francis Crick to photographer Antony Barrington Brown. It was the double helix structure of DNA - the discovery that kick-started the genetics revolution 50 years ago. Meet the photographer who caught the moment, with Watson and Crick standing by an array of stands, rods and balls. And get prepared for the... view more... (2003-01-19)
UAB Researchers Discover a New Mechanism Involved in Predisposition to Cancer
A team of researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has discovered a new mechanism that accelerates the shortening of telomeres (structures that protect the ends of chromosomes) involved in genetic instability and a predisposition to cancer. The research has been published in the journal Human Molecular Genetics. view more (2002-02-26)
Researchers within sight of a breakthrough on blindness
The discovery by a Leeds University scientist of a new blindness gene could help to save the sight of thousands of sufferers of retinal disease which affects premature babies as well as people over 60. view more (2004-11-03)
Genetic marker linked to aggressive prostate cancer
Northwestern University researchers have discovered that a recently identified genetic marker for prostate cancer is linked to a highly aggressive form of the disease. view more (2007-05-21)
Identification of genetic risk factor for coeliac disease promises improved treatment
An international research consortium investigating the genetic causes of intestinal inflammatory conditions has identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease. view more (2007-06-11)
Cockroach classification is to be amended
Now it is difficult to imagine how people managed without DNA-diagnostics. Russian scientists hope to apply this method for eliminating differences in classification of the most ancient inhabitants of the earth - cockroaches. By applying DNA-diagnostics the researchers from the Vavilov Institiute of General Genetics, Russian Academy of Sciences,... view more... (2003-08-22)
Environmental stress probed in cardiovascular disease, diabetes
How environmental stress contributes to cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes is under study at the Medical College of Georgia. view more (2007-09-06)
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)
Researchers make progress in studying genetic traits of India-born populations
Despite the fact that the people of India constitute more than one-sixth of the world's entire population, they have been underrepresented in studies related to genetic diseases. view more (2006-12-26)
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)
A First Glance at the Gene Networks of Human Aging
Boston, MA - July 29, 2004 - Scientists have rendered the first gene and protein networks of human aging, an important step in understanding the genetic mechanisms of aging. The work led by Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from Harvard Medical School is detailed in the July 30 issue of FEBS Letters. view more (2004-07-29)
Genetic breakthrough offers promise in tackling kidney tumors
A new study has shown promising results in fighting a severe genetic disorder which can create tumours throughout the body. view more (2008-01-11)
Taking the P out of plants
Is there an alternative to using GM crops in agriculture to eradicate the need for applying excessive phosphate fertiliser? John Hammond of UK's Horticulture Research International thinks so. Working in collaboration with Nottingham University, he is developing a diagnostic test that tells when plants are low on phosphorus so they can be... view more... (2004-03-24)
