Essential genes cluster clue to order in the genome
The identification of a cluster of essential genes on mouse chromosome 11 as well as similar clusters on the chromosomes of other organisms - including humans - buttresses the argument that there may be rules as to how genes are structured or laid out on chromosomes. view more (2007-05-04)
Dissecting the genetic components of adaptation of E. coli to the mouse gut
New insights into the evolutionary mechanisms that facilitate the remarkably fast adaptation of intestinal bacteria within their natural environment are provided in the January issue of PLoS Genetics by researchers from INSERM and INRA at University Paris Descartes. view more (2008-01-14)
Genetic Heterogeneity of Icelanders
Research undertaken by Professor Einar 'rnason at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik and published in the January 2003 issue of Annals of Human Genetics highlights the inaccuracy of claims that Icelanders are a 'genetically homogenous' population. Professor 'rnason explains in his article: "Recently, statements have been made about a... view more... (2003-02-07)

Physicians have recognized scoliosis, the abnormal curvature of the spine, since the time of Hippocrates, but its causes have remained a mystery -- until now. view more (2007-06-26)
ACMG recognizes progress made in newborn screening
n support of the latest March of Dimes Newborn Screening Report Card, the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) strongly urges every state to require complete testing of all newborns for a 'core panel' of genetic and congenital conditions. view more (2007-07-13)
Sex talk revelations of the lonely Y chromosome
In the week that the University of Leicester celebrates the 25th anniversary of the discovery of DNA fingerprinting new findings from the world-renowned University of Leicester Department of Genetics reveal for the first time that the male and female do truly communicate -at least at the fundamental genetic level. view more (2009-09-11)
What is a gene?
Even scientists define 'a gene' in different ways, so it comes as little surprise that the media also have various ways of framing the concept of a gene. view more (2008-09-08)
Children born after PGD as healthy as those born after conventional IVF treatment

Gene therapy shows early promise for treating obesity
With obesity reaching epidemic levels, researchers at the Ohio State University Medical Center are studying a potentially long-term treatment that involves injecting a gene directly into one of the critical feeding and weight control centers of the brain. view more (2009-03-10)
Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have shown how broken sections of chromosomes can recombine to change genomes and spawn new species. view more (2008-08-14)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
MRC mouse research centre to understand the role of genes in disease opened by Lord Sainsbury today
A new £18M Medical Research Council (MRC) facility to understand and compare the genetics of disease in mice and humans will be opened today, Wednesday 30 June, by Lord Sainsbury, Minister for Science and Technology.
