The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) released a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius regarding the potentially harmful recommendations of the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health and Society (SACGHS) in its Report on Gene Patents and Licensing...
Gene could predict tamoxifen treatment failure Scientists in Belfast have identified a gene which could predict whether women with breast cancer will respond to treatment with tamoxifen, according to findings published today in Cancer Research. Dr Tracy Robson and researcher Dr Hayley McKeen...

Scientists have identified a gene family that plays a key role in one of the earliest stages of development in which an embryo distinguishes its left side from the right and determines how organs should be positioned within the body. The finding in mice likely will lead to a better understanding...
Results of a new study in non-small cell lung cancer showed that patients with specific oncogenic rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene within the short arm of chromosome 2 of their tumors had a much greater response to a new therapy - an ALK-inhibitor. Findings were...
Soccer practice was brutal. The hot summer heat made every drill twice as hard as usual. Everybody was a little bit off of their game, however I was particularly sluggish. The coaches called for a water break after finally noticing that our dehydration was significantly affecting our...
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered a new gene therapy that may prevent the progression of emphysema. The study, which appears on-line in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, describes a method to express therapeutic genes in lung tissue for a lifetime...
Scientists at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute in Houston recently discovered a simple gene mutation that decreases the chance people will get a flesh-eating disease called necrotizing fasciitis. Further, they proved that inactivating this section of the gene lessens the devastating...
Individuals with single-gene mutations that mean they have abnormally low levels of the protein alpha-1 antitrypsin are highly susceptible to emphysema, a progressive lung disease that causes severe shortness of breath. Previous attempts to correct single-gene defects that cause lung disease by...
A New York Medical College physician who specializes in restoring or preserving fertility in female cancer patients has discovered a possible link between the presence of breast cancer genes and infertility. In a paper published last week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Kutluk Oktay, M.D...
A gene associated with a rare form of progressive deafness in males has been identified by an international team of researchers funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. The gene, PRPS1, appears to be crucial in inner ear development and maintenance. The...

A gene involved in some forms of intellectual disability has been identified by scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), as published this month in The American Journal of Human Genetics. The gene is called TRAPPC9. In the same journal two other international research...
I am doing an "issues project" for a college-level biology course and need to come up with a topic related to the manipulation of human genetics. It needs to be something that I can directly relate to biological processes in some way.
Ideas?
It's actually not an ethics course, which makes it...
To each his (or her own), but as a Yank, I prefer "dirty Harry" Callahan's All-American toughness to your Gene Hunt's motor mouth...Besides, Clint would eat your "Guv" for breakfast ;)
I must say I prefer Sgt. "Dirty Harry" Callahan's All-American toughness to Gene Hunt's motor mouth...besides, Dirty Harry would eat your "Guv" for breakfast. Trust me ;)
But hey, to each his (and her) own :)
...and his family's show? Every time I watch Celebrity Apprentice, I can't get over the resemblance that Brande Roderick has to Gene Simmons's 'un-wife', Shannon Tweed! I found some pics to compare, but they wouldn't post here. Anyone else know both shows and see the same thing?

Okay, well at Dave and Busters they have a Gene Machine. But it cost money, and,well I don't feel like traveling over there. Anyways, is there like some Gene Machine on the internet, free and all you have to do is have your picture and a guys picture and see what the kid would look like? Please...
