SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Affymetrix, Inc. (AFFX) today announced a research and service collaboration with the Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research (CPGR) in South Africa. CPGR will provide gene expression and Axiom genotyping services to African researchers using GeneTitan Multi-Channel (MC) Instrument. The Affymetrix and CPGR partnership aims to enable high-throughput genomics research and personalized medicine projects across Africa.

The CPGR is a nonprofit organization funded by the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), which is based on an initiative by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) whose goal is to develop the bio-economy in South Africa. According to Dr Reinhard Hiller, Managing Director of the CPGR, The high throughput capability of GeneTitan MC Instrument combined with customizable Axiom Genotyping Arrays is ideal for meeting the needs of scientists in Africa whose research projects range from small pilot to large-scale discovery to focused validation studies. GeneTitan MC Instrument expands our genomics service capabilities and will further enable CPGR to support cutting-edge translational research in Africa. Further, it allows discovery and validation of disease-related biomarkers economically even when searching for very rare genetic variants. We expect to progress personalized medicine studies that aim to discover genetic markers specific in the African population for better diagnosis and drug treatment.

It is a well-known fact that genetic variability of African populations is far greater than in other regions in the world. This is particularly important when considering that African populations are underrepresented in most studies on hereditary diseases and pharmacogenomics. Applying these types of genomic discoveries to clinical practices has the potential to change health and wellness of African populations.

We are excited to partner with CPGR and see this as a significant opportunity to ensure that African populations are represented in genomics research studies leading to personalized therapies. Affymetrix is leading the way in population optimized genotyping analysis and was the first to create a genotyping array with content derived specifically from African populations, said Chris Barbazette, VP of Commercial Operations, International Markets at Affymetrix.

Affymetrix Announces Research Collaboration With Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research (CPGR) in South Africa

London, Nov 21 (IANS)

A specific gene could explain why fat people are happier than their thinner counterparts, says a new research from McMaster University, Canada.

Scientists have linked the "fat gene" with the "happy gene". "Strictly" star Lisa Riley has recently said she is a "big, really happy girl who is lucky enough to be confident in her own skin".

The FTO gene is the major contributor to obesity, but it is also linked with an eight percent reduction in the risk of depression, the Daily Mail reports.

McMaster researchers investigated the genetic and psychiatric status of patients enrolled in the EpiDREAM study, led by the population Health Research Institute, and analysed 17,200 DNA samples from participants in 21 countries.

Results showed those with the previously identified fat gene FTO showed significantly less signs of depression. These findings were confirmed by analysing the genetic status of patients in three additional international studies.

David Meyre, professor at McMaster, said: "We set out to follow a different path, starting from the hypothesis that both depression and obesity deal with brain activity. We hypothesised that obesity genes may be linked to depression."

"The difference of eight percent is modest and it won't make a big difference in the day-to-day care of patients. But we have discovered a novel molecular basis for depression," added Meyre.

THINK not of him as a policeman preventing scientists from going down the wrong research road. Instead mathematician Terry Speed opens new paths of investigation for researchers by highlighting trends or anomalies buried in dense data.

''A lot of people perceive me as being the policeman but I don't like being cast in that role,'' he said. ''I would rather be the person who illuminates things and unlocks information.''

For his trouble Professor Speed was awarded the $50,000 Victoria Prize for life sciences at a ceremony at the State Library on Wednesday.

Biology experiments generate masses of data. Things get complicated quickly and it doesn't take long for scientists to call in the experts.

That's where bioinformatics comes in. A biologist can present Professor Speed with a question or problem - such as finding the difference between a normal breast cell and a cancerous breast cell - and it's his job to unlock the genetic secrets hidden in the data.

''It's often the case that genes which shouldn't be being expressed are, or genes which should be being expressed aren't,'' he said. ''We need to find which it is. But there are 30,000 genes and we don't want to look through each one, one at a time.''

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute's resident statistician creates tailored algorithms and programs to hunt out the answers to specific questions.

Gene data guru and stormwater expert win top prize

Perhaps there is a bit of truth to the stereotype about being fat and happy new research finds that people who have a gene linked with obesity may have a slightly lower risk of depression.

People who had a version of a gene called the FTO gene were 8 percent less likely to have depression, researchers found. In 2007, scientists discovered this version of the FTO gene was a major contributor to genetic obesity among people of European descent.

The finding "suggests that the FTO gene may have a broader role than initially thought, with an effect on depression and other common psychiatric disorders," the researchers wrote in their study published today (Nov. 20) in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

The researchers said the findings challenge the idea that obesity and depression are generally linked. Some have suggested that obese people become depressed because of their appearance and discrimination, while people with depression may become less active and change their eating habits to cope with their illness.

"The difference of 8 percent is modest, and it won't make a big difference in the day-to-day care of patients," study researcher David Meyre, associate professor in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics at McMaster University in Canada, said in a statement. "But, we have discovered a novel molecular basis for depression," Meyre said.

The researchers looked at data gathered on more than 17,000 people who participated in a genetics study between 2001 and 2003. About 3,200 of the participants had depression. The researchers further supported the link they found by analyzing data on genes of patients in three additional large international studies.

Still, further studies are needed to confirm the findings, they said.

Previous studies of families have suggested that 40 percent of the risk of depression comes from genetics, the researchers said. However, attempts to find specific genes associated with depression have not produced convincing evidence so far, according to the study.

This finding is important because about 9 percent of U.S. adults have depression at any given time, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pass it on: A gene linked with obesity may help protect people against depression.

e.coli
Stand Up Comedian, Michael Freed, discusses genetic engineering. Scientists are doing so much with genetic engineering. They might even solve the energy crisis. They #39;ve created e. coli bacteria that actually breaks down organic material and produces 100% pure diesel fuel. That #39;s all well and good but what happens when that breaks free of the lab? The symptoms of the next e. coli outbreak could include spontaneous combustion.

malaria
Stand Up Comedian, Michael Freed, discusses genetic engineering. Scientists in California have genetically altered mosquitos whose immune systems kill the malaria parasite. That is just incredible news for mosquitos. This is going to revolutionize their way of life. They can feed with impunity without any fears of killing of their food source. Think of what it will do for their reputation. Now all the scientists have to do is catch and genetically modify every mosquito on the planet and malaria will be completely wiped out. Forgive me for thinking they #39;re going about this the wrong way. Don #39;t you think it might be a little easier to boost the human immune system to kill malaria? I #39;m thinking the 3 billion willing participants in malaria prone areas would be a whole lot easier to round up than the 95 bazillion unwilling mosquitoes.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Sequenom, Inc. (SQNM), a life sciences company providing innovative diagnostic testing and genetic analysis solutions, today announced that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee on Genetics and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Publications Committee issued a joint Committee Opinion on November 20, 2012, recommending that cell-free fetal DNA testing be offered to patients at increased risk of aneuploidy. It can also be used as a follow-up test for women with a positive first-trimester or second-trimester screening test result.

Previously, the ACOG recommended that women, regardless of maternal age, be offered prenatal assessment for aneuploidy by screening or invasive prenatal diagnosis. The ACOG Committee on Genetics and the SMFM Publications Committee now recommend that women at increased risk of aneuploidy be offered cell-free fetal DNA as an option that can be used as a primary screening test based on the following indications:

The Committee Opinion also recommended that "cell-free fetal DNA testing should not be offered to low-risk women or women with multiple gestations because it has not been sufficiently evaluated in these groups." Further, the Committee Opinion stated that "pre-test counseling should be an informed patient choice after pre-test counseling and should not be part of routine prenatal laboratory assessment. A patient with a positive test result should be referred for genetic counseling and offered invasive prenatal diagnosis for confirmation of test results."

"The issuance of the ACOG/SMFM opinion on the use of cell-free fetal DNA testing represents a major step forward for the integration of this valuable technology into pregnancy care programs" said Allan Bombard, MD, Sequenom's Chief Medical Officer. "We fully support the indications for considering the use of cell-free fetal DNA outlined in the Committee Opinion and believe this will be a valuable tool to help guide physicians and their patients in the most appropriate prenatal care."

ACOG is the nation's leading group of physicians providing health care for women. The College strongly advocates for quality health care for women, maintains the highest standards of clinical practice and continuing education of its members, promotes patient education, and increases awareness among its members and the public of the changing issues facing women's health care.

SMFM is a non-profit membership group for obstetricians/gynecologists who have additional formal education and training in maternal-fetal medicine. The society is devoted to reducing high-risk pregnancy complications by providing continuing education to its 2,000 members on the latest pregnancy assessment and treatment methods. It also serves as an advocate for improving public policy, and expanding research funding and opportunities for maternal-fetal medicine.

About the MaterniT21 PLUS Test

The MaterniT21 PLUS test analyzes the relative amount of 21, 18, 13 and Y chromosomal material in cell-free DNA. The test is intended for use in pregnant women at increased risk for fetal aneuploidy and can be used as early as 10 weeks gestation. Estimates suggest there are about 750,000 pregnancies at high risk for fetal aneuploidy each year in the United States. The MaterniT21 PLUS test is available exclusively through the Sequenom Center for Molecular Medicine (Sequenom CMM) as a testing service provided to physicians.

Newswise Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have identified a genetic factor that prevents blockages from forming in blood vessels, a discovery that could lead to new therapies for cardiovascular diseases.

The findings are described in the Nov. 19 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Researchers led by Mukesh K. Jain, MD, FAHA, professor of medicine, Ellery Sedgwick Jr. Chair and director of Case Cardiovascular Research Institute at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, found that a shortage of the genetic factor KLF4, which regulates endothelial cells lining the interior of blood vessels, makes the lining more prone to the buildup of harmful plaque and fat deposits. In addition they showed that the deficiency of KLF4 also made the blood vessel more susceptible to clot formation. The plaque buildup (called atherosclerosis) narrows vessels and provides the foundation for clot formation (called thrombosis) that leads to heart attack and stroke.

Conversely, sufficient levels of KLF4, protect the inner lining of blood vessels, from toxins and other harmful agents that trigger the buildup of plaque and clot formation.

This research answers a fundamental question in blood vessel health, identifying KLF4 as a master regulator of the most cardinal functions of endothelial cells, says Jain, who is also chief research officer of Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute at University Hospitals Case Medical Center.

The fact that the level of these genetic factors can be altered in human disease suggests that targeting them may be a viable therapeutic strategy, Jain says.

The researchers are now developing tools to identify small molecules that increase KLF4 levels. Long-term, the goal is to identify a new class of molecules to develop a drug that works with those already used to treat heart disease. Another possibility is to modify existing drugs that can boost KLFs levels.

It is possible, Jain says, that chemical modification of the current statins will create super-statins that are more potent at inducing KLF levels, providing additional benefit.

Studies have shown that the earliest lesions of atherosclerosis typically begin at points where blood vessels branch out to different parts of the body, such as the brain, heart and legs.

Researchers hypothesized that mechanical forces may irritate the lining at these intersections, making them more prone to atherosclerosis than straighter lengths of the vessel system. In addition, toxins and harmful cytokines cell secretions that can trigger inflammation - can further injure the endothelium and speed the development of disease.

Genetic Factor Holds Key to Blood Vessel Health

A startup called GenePeeks will identify recessive diseases that could show up in children of sperm-bank clients and donors.

Within the next year, women choosing a sperm donor may be able to use a genetic-analysis service that identifies those with DNA that could cause disease if combined with their own.

Sperm donors are already screened for a handful of genetic conditions, and recipients can choose between donors based on qualities such as height, athleticism, and education. A more detailed analysis of how donor DNA would combine with the recipients DNA would be the next step.

A company called GenePeeks will use DNA-scanning microarrays, which are cheaper to use than whole-genome sequencing, to examine the roughly 250,000 DNA bases in the genomes of sperm-bank clients and donors. The company will then use what's known about how DNA is mixed and divided during egg and sperm formation to compute thousands of virtual child genomes. Each of these virtual genomes will then be analyzed for disease risks. Donors that produced virtual babies that inherited a genetic disease can then be excluded.

GenePeeks is about six months away from launching its service and will soon announce its initial partner sperm bank, says CEO Anne Morriss.

Today, sperm banks screen potential donors for certain genetic conditions depending on their ethnic background, and all donors are screened for a defective copy of the cystic fibrosis gene. One damaged copy is not enough to affect the offspring (the child would be a carrier of the disease, but would not suffer from it), but if two copies are passed onone from a donor, one from the motherthen the child will have the chronic and often fatal disease.

GenePeeks will also scan for thousands of other disease risks that are caused by two defective copies of a single gene.

The inspiration for the company came from Morrisss own experience with sperm donation. Her son, Alec, was born using donor sperm, and he suffers from a genetic condition that prevents his body from converting fats to energy, which can lead to coma, seizures, and sudden death. No one in Morrisss family had ever had the condition, but she carries one defective copy and, by chance, she picked a donor who was also a carrier.

"The thing I think about every single day is essentially Alecs disease was preventable," says Morriss. So she and Princeton geneticist Lee Silver cofounded GenePeeks, which will use Silver's proprietary algorithms to compute thousands of virtual child genomes. Each of these virtual genomes can then be checked for disease risk. "We want to make sure that we reduce the number of kids that have to pay that price," says Morriss. "We are at a place as a species that we can do this."

The idea is not to find the perfect match for a sperm-bank client, but to rule out potentially risky matches. So instead of a list of 300 potential donors to choose from, a woman who uses GenePeeks's service may be choosing from a pool of 250, says Silver. "We arent telling her what to choose, but if she wants to, she can avoid certain donors," he says.

Cutest Kittens! (Tabby Kitten)
Meet my crazy cute tabby kittens! Gonzo and Caesar :p 🙂 I will be filming them everyday as they grow from tiny kittens into cats! A tabby is any cat that has a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an "M" on its forehead. Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a cat breed.[1] In fact, the tabby pattern is found in many breeds of cat, as well as among the general mixed-breed population. The tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be related to the coloration of the domestic cat #39;s direct ancestor, the African Wildcat, which (along with the European Wildcat and Asiatic Wildcat) has a similar coloration. In cat genetics, pattern is unrelated to color, and so the tabby coat pattern can show up in combination with a variety of coat colors, including tortoiseshell (Tortoiseshell Tabby cats are often called #39;Torbies #39;). A cat #39;s coat can be described as red tabby or gray tabby. Black and blue are colors that usually show up without tabby markings, but with some cats, a faint tabby pattern can actually be noticed. Bi-color cats can have the tabby pattern show up on the colored patches of their coat. For example, Tortoiseshell cats sometimes display a pattern where the red-based and black-based tortoiseshell pattern is mixed with tabby markings. White spotting of any level can also appear in combination with tabby patterns; however, white is the only coat color that does not have any ...From:Tabby KittensViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:45More inPets Animals
