Scan of Entire Human Genome Finds Unexpected New Clues on Lou Gehrig's Disease (U.S. Newswire via Yahoo! News)
A comprehensive scan of the human genome has identified more than 50 genetic abnormalities in people with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) announced today. The most common of these abnormalities have never before been shown to play a role in the disease.

Two Rapidly Evolving Genes Offer Geneticists Clues To Why Hybrids Are Sterile Or Do Not Survive (Science Daily)
While hybrids -- the result of the mating of two different species -- may offer interesting and beneficial traits, they are usually sterile or unable to survive. For example, a mule, the result of the mating of a horse and a donkey, is sterile. Now, Cornell researchers have made the first identification of a pair of genes in any species that are responsible for problems unique to hybrids.
