• Landmark decision? US Supreme Court rules human genes cannot be patented

  
  Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine — Authority: 705
  In what is being ballyhooed as a landmark decision likely to set the course of DNA-based diagnostic and therapeutic medicine for the next several decades, the US Supreme Court unanimously decided on June 13 that human genes are not patentable. Rather than objects invented or discovered, human genes are henceforth to ...

• Genetic switches play big role in human evolution

  
  — Authority:
  A Cornell study offers further proof that the divergence of humans from chimpanzees some 4 million to 6 million years ago was profoundly influenced by mutations to DNA sequences that play roles in turning genes on and off. The study, published June 9 in Nature Genetics, provides evidence for a 40-year-old hypothesis ...

• Hairpin turn: Micro-RNA plays role in wood formation

  
  — Authority:
  For more than a decade, scientists have suspected that hairpin-shaped chains of micro-RNA regulate wood formation inside plant cells. Now, scientists at NC State University have found the first example and mapped out key relationships that control the process. The research, published online in Proceedings of the ...

• New, more accurate test for Down’s syndrome developed

  
  — Authority:
  Researchers at King’s College London and King’s College Hospital, part of King’s Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre, have developed a new, non-invasive blood test that can reliably detect whether or not an unborn baby has Down’s syndrome. The test can be given earlier in pregnancy and is more ...

• Life on Earth shockingly comes from out of this world

  
  — Authority:
  Early Earth was not very hospitable when it came to jump starting life. In fact, new research shows that life on Earth may have come from out of this world. Lawrence Livermore scientist Nir Goldman and University of Ontario Institute of Technology colleague Isaac Tamblyn (a former LLNL postdoc) found that icy comets ...

• Keeping Stem Cells Strong

  
  — Authority:
  When infections occur in the body, stem cells in the blood often jump into action by multiplying and differentiating into mature immune cells that can fight off illness. But repeated infections and inflammation can deplete these cell populations, potentially leading to the development of serious blood conditions such ...

• Profiles in Long-Termism: Sarepta Therapeutics CEO Chris Garabedian

  
  — Authority:
  Luke Timmerman Biotech is a long-term business, in a world that places more value on short-term thinking. Pharma companies often cut long-term R&D budgets, or do disastrous mega-mergers , mainly to juice their profits for a quarter or two. But sometimes people come along who are willing and able to buck the ...

• How Your Brain Circuits Become Miswired

  
  — Authority:
  How do the faulty brain circuits involved in mental disorders such as autism or retardation develop? Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College have helped light the way to an answer with the discovery of a mechanism that guides the wiring of neural circuits in a developing brain. The researchers discovered that ...

• Natural GMOs Part 169. Co-evolution of genomic parasites and RNA based defences against them have a long, long history.

  
  — Authority:
  Small RNAs as Guardians of the Genome "Given the variety of pathogens and parasites that plague every living organism, it is likely that genomic parasites evolved hot on the heels of the emergence of replicating genomes. The deeply conserved use of small RNAs as mechanisms to defend genomes against mobile [DNA] ...

• Natural GMOs Part 167. The fight against genome parasites

  
  — Authority:
  June 04, 2013 In the gonads of animals, genome parasites such as transposons pose a serious threat to evolutionary fitness. With their ability to bounce around in the genome, they often cause dangerous mutations. To protect genomic integrity, animals evolved a sophisticated mechanism – the so called piRNA pathway ...
