The discovery, which is reported in the April 10 advance online section of Nature Genetics, proves that genes behind very rare inherited diseases can now be found, offering excellent opportunities to strengthen understanding of craniofacial and limb development, health and disease b...

Future diabetes drugs may target new protein interaction

Gov't Creates Gene Database of Normal Human Tissues

...,000-25,000), and Khan said it had been previously reported that "only a fraction of that, perhaps 10,000 genes, are actively transcribed in normal cell processes." Thus it becomes strategically useful to characterize this essential backdrop. "The normal organ database provides a platform that may help scient...

In a study published in the April 7 issue of the journal Nature, a multi-institution team, led by Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, described its analysis of the high quality, reference sequence of chromosomes 2 and 4. The...

While on trail of dioxin, scientists pinpoint cancer target of green tea

...e protective effects of green tea. While it's been reported that green tea protects people against some forms of cancer, such as breast and liver cancer, exactly how it does so has been difficult to pinpoint. The latest results make more feasible the idea of harnessing green tea's protective power. Just as p...

Mutation in clams protects against paralytic shellfish poisoning but raises human health risk

Venomous snakes, all of which belong to the superfamily Colubroidea, evolved glands for the storage and dispersal of their saliva approximately 60-80 million years ago. Since that time, various prey...

Bugs, even 'bad' ones, can be educationally beneficial, new book says

Not only do insects interact with people, some insect species share characteristics with humans, Waldbauer said. For example, the tsetse fly has an analogue of a mammalian uterus. "Milk-secreting glands that empty int...
