Evolution of Human Intellect: Human-Specific Regulation of Neuronal Genes
November 20, 2012 — A new study has identified hundreds of small regions of the genome that appear to be uniquely regulated in human neurons. These regulatory differences distinguish us from other primates, including ... > full story -
Breast Cancer Cells' Reaction to Cancer Drugs Can Be Predicted, Study Suggests
November 19, 2012 — Can breast cancer cells’ reaction to cancer drugs be predicted? The answer is yes. Researchers have developed a solution for predicting responses of breast cancer cells to a set of cancer ... > full story -
Skin Cells Reveal DNA's Genetic Mosaic
November 18, 2012 — The prevailing wisdom has been that every cell in the body contains identical DNA. However, a new study of stem cells derived from the skin has found that genetic variations are widespread in the ... > full storyMore: -
Large-Scale Genomic Testing Feasible, Impacts Therapy
November 15, 2012 — Targeted cancer therapy has been transforming the care of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is now standard practice for tumor specimens from NSCLC patients to be examined for EGFR ... > full story -
Tracking Brain Gene Response to Territorial Aggression
November 15, 2012 — With a mate and a nest to protect, the male threespined stickleback is a fierce fish, chasing and biting other males until they go away. Now researchers are mapping the genetic underpinnings of the ... > full story -
Pig Genome Offers Insights Into the Feistiest of Farm Animals
November 14, 2012 — The pig and its cousin the wild boar have much in common with humans. They are world travelers. They often damage their own habitat. They are easy to seduce (with food) and susceptible to ... > full story -
Schizophrenia Genetic Networks Identified; Connection to Autism Found
November 11, 2012 — Although schizophrenia is highly genetic in origin, the genes involved in the disorder have been difficult to identify. In the past few years, researchers have implicated several genes, but it is ... > full story -
Nanoparticles: When Less Is More in Predicting Performance
November 8, 2012 — A computational approach that makes processor-intensive first-principle calculations more manageable is now available to predict the structure of nano-alloy ... > full story -
Whole Genome Sequencing of De Novo Balanced Rearrangements in Prenatal Diagnosis
November 7, 2012 — Whole genome sequencing of the DNA code of three prenatal samples provided a detailed map of the locations of their chromosomal abnormalities in 14 days, a relatively brief timeframe that should ... > full story -
DNA Sequencing of Infants and Children With Anatomical Defects of Unknown Causes
November 6, 2012 — A one-year-old research initiative has brought together researchers, clinicians and policy experts to tackle the challenges of incorporating new genomic technologies into the clinical care of ... > full story
