NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — An international team led by researchers at Seoul National University has sequenced and annotated the genome of a Korean individual — the second Korean genome to be sequenced in recent months and the seventh complete human genome to be published in the past two years.
The invention incorporates a method for the detection of minority memory genomes in viral quasispecies. Such genomes contain, at least, one mutation with respect to the majority genomes and include those involved in resistance to antiviral drugs and viral
HEPATOLOGY: Immune cells linked to severe infant liver disease Very little is known about the cause of biliary atresia, a progressive liver disease in newborns. However, Jorge Bezerra and colleagues, at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, have now linked immune cells known as NK cells to the initiation of biliary atresia in mice.
Research is increasingly becoming a networked process. The big genome studies are a good example of the need to pool the efforts of gold standard centers around the world. Only in this way is it possible to achieve results as solid as those obtained by the GenoMEL project, which is funded by the European Commission to study the genetic and environmental risk factors for melanoma.
( Journal of Clinical Investigation ) This release contains summaries, links to PDFs and contact information for the following newsworthy papers to be published online, July 6, 2009, in the JCI, including: Understanding the anticancer effects of vitamin D3; Immune cells linked to severe infant liver disease; Psoriasis-like inflammation: crucial role for the protein CCR6; First natural target for ...
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals last month announced that it had joined the Max Planck Institute to sue the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Massachusetts for allegedly misappropriating certain RNAi-related intellectual property.
MicroRNAs are the newest kid on the genetic block. By regulating the unzipping of genetic information, these tiny molecules have set the scientific world alight with such wide-ranging applications as onions that can't make you cry and therapeutic potential for new treatments for viral infections, cancer and degenerative diseases. But the question remains: How do they work?
( IDIBAPS - Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer ) The genetic study includes 1650 patients and 4336 control subjects from Europe and Australia. Of the three regions of the genome with small variations identified as risk factors for melanoma, one is new and two are associated with pigmentation. These risk factors are shared despite genetic variability and differences in ...
(ARA) - Whether you're relaxing beachside on vacation, picnicking in the park or strolling through the neighborhood, warm weather offers many opportunities for outdoor fun. However, these activities can lead to dehydration, sunburn and fatigue if you're not careful.
