New Technique Is Quantum Leap Forward In Understanding Proteins
In this ongoing quest, a group of Scripps Research Institute scientists, along with colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, (UCSD) have borrowed from physics to deliver one of those research rarities - an unmitigated success. The group has devised a computational method that, with remarkable accuracy, predicts how bacterial proteins fold and interact. (Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:15:29 GMT)
Krumlauf Lab Demonstrates Modulation Of Gene Expression By Protein Coding Regions
A research team at the Stowers Institute has discovered how the expression of one of the Hox master control genes is regulated in a specific segment of the developing brain. The findings provide important insight into how and where the brain develops some of its unique and important structures. (Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:16:30 GMT)

Can genetic tests identify athletic talent?
When Donna Campiglia learned recently that a genetic test might be able to determine which sports suit the talents of her 2 ½-year-old son, Noah, she instantly said, "Where can I get it, and how much does it cost?" "I could see how some people might think the test would pigeonhole your child into doing fewer sports or being exposed to fewer things, but I still think it's good to match them ...

Few DNA repair genes maintain association with cancer in field synopsis
( Journal of the National Cancer Institute ) Variants of numerous DNA repair genes initially appeared to be statistically significantly associated with cancer risk in epidemiological studies. When the data from individual studies are pooled, however, few DNA repair gene variants appear truly associated with increased cancer risk, according to a field synopsis published in the Dec. 30 online ...

Genome-wide Association Studies Must Account For Ancestry
Ask someone where their ancestors were from and odds are that they know. Or maybe not. A new study published in Human Molecular Genetics suggests that scientists using the latest tools to scan the human genome must pay attention to ancestry when analyzing and interpreting their results. Chao Tian and Michael F. Seldin, MD, PhD, of University of California Davis, and Peter K. (Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:15:49 GMT)
