Mutant flies that tell us about human diseases
22 March 2012 Last updated at 22:41 ET By Melissa Hogenboom BBC News The common fruit fly and human beings may look nothing alike but appearances can be deceiving. The two species not only share around 70% of the same disease-causing genes but they also have many of the same major organs. This similarity, combined with the flies’ brief life-spans and ability to reproduce quickly, make them invaluable for scientists studying genetics and diseases Continue reading

Fly Mutations Offer Quicker Clues To Human Diseases
Scientists have long used mutations in fruit flies, worms and mice as tools to identify genes associated with diseases in humans, but the path from animal to human often takes years. But a collaboration between Baylor College of Medicine scientists studying fruit flies and Canadian human genetics researchers linked a gene that caused neurodegeneration in flies to a human disease called “autosomal recessive spastic ataxia with frequent leukoencephalopathy,” or ARSAL, in a matter of months, according to a study published Tuesday in PLoS Biology Continue reading

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/665a00/the_year_in_human) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd’s new book “The Year in Human and Medical Genetics: Inborn Errors of Immunity I” to their offering. The genetic dissection of human primary immunodeficiency is expanding at full speed, in at least two directions. Some investigators pursue the dissection of well-known clinical phenotypes, for which the count of genetic etiologies seems to be endless, whereas others begin the search for inborn errors underlying new phenotypes, infectious and otherwise.

Two European Neuroscientists Awarded the € 1 million BRAIN PRIZE 2012 for Their Pioneering Work on the Genetics of …
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — The Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Foundation announced today that The Brain Prize 2012 is jointly awarded to Christine Petit and Karen Steel: ‘for their unique, world-leading contributions to our understanding of the genetic regulation of the development and functioning of the ear, and for elucidating the causes of many of the hundreds of inherited forms of deafness.’ Inherited conditions render one in a thousand children deaf at birth, and cause as many again to become deaf before maturity, leading to delay or failure in the acquisition of speech, and frequently to disadvantages in communication and learning. Genetic anomalies also contribute to many age-related and progressive forms of hearing loss Continue reading

Gorilla Genome Analysis Reveals New Details of Great Ape Evolution
By Andrea Anderson NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) An international research team led by investigators at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute has sequenced and started analyzing the gorilla genome, using it to better understand gorilla biology and the evolutionary history of great apes. As they reported online today in Nature, the researchers sequenced the genome of a female western lowland gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla and compared it with the genomes of great apes sequenced previously: humans, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Along with the reference genome, the team also looked at sequence data for three other gorillas, two more from the western gorilla species and one from a lowland population of the eastern gorilla species.

New research by UCLA life scientists and colleagues provides reason for optimism. The scientists discovered that some 2,000 genes in a region of the male zebra finch’s brain known as “Area X” are significantly linked to singing. Continue reading

Chimp populations show great genetic diversity, with implications for conservation
Public release date: 1-Mar-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Craig Brierley c.brierley@wellcome.ac.uk 44-207-611-7329 Public Library of Science Chimpanzee populations living in close proximity are substantially more different genetically than humans living on different continents, according to a study published in PLoS Genetics. Research conducted by scientists from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Centre Pasteur du Cameroun, and the Biomedical Primate Research Centre suggests that genomics can provide a valuable tool for chimpanzee conservation, with the potential to identify the population of origin of an individual chimpanzee or the provenance of a sample of bush meat.
