Scientists studying the genes and proteins of human cells infected with a common cold virus have identified a new gene identification technique that could increase the genetic information we hold on animals by around 70 to 80 per cent. The findings, published in Nature Methods, could revolutionise our understanding of animal genetics and disease, and improve our knowledge of dangerous viruses such as SARS that jump the species barrier from animals to humans.

Modern advances in genome sequencing the process of determining the genetic information and variation controlling everything from our eye colour to our vulnerability to certain diseases has enabled scientists to uncover the genetic codes of a wide range of animals, plants and insects.

Until now, correctly identifying the genes and proteins hidden inside the genetic material of a newly sequenced species has been a monumental undertaking requiring the careful observation and cataloguing of vast amounts of data about the thousands of individual genes that make up any given animal, plant or insect.

Dr David Matthews, the study's lead author and a Senior Lecturer in Virology at the University of Bristol's School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, said: "Gene identification is mainly led by computer programmes which search the genome for regions that look like genes already identified in other animals or humans. However, this type of analysis is not always effective."

The Bristol team has now discovered a more effective way of detecting the genetic information present in animals, plants and insects using cutting-edge analysis tools to directly observe the genes and all the proteins they make.

To prove their technique worked, the researchers conducted an experiment to see how good their process was at gene discovery. Human cells were infected with a well-understood common cold bug to mimic a newly discovered virus. These infected cells were then analysed using the technique as if they were cells from a newly sequenced organism infected with a newly discovered virus.

The resulting list of "discovered" genes and proteins, when compared to the genetic information already known about humans and cold virus, proved extremely successful and demonstrated the power of this method.

A similar analysis of hamster cells provided directly observed evidence for the existence of thousands of genes and proteins in hamsters in a single relatively inexpensive experiment. Direct evidence for the existence of almost all of theses genes and proteins in hamsters is not available in the 'official' lists of hamster genes and proteins.

New York, NY (November 11, 2012) Although schizophrenia is highly genetic in origin, the genes involved in the disorder have been difficult to identify. In the past few years, researchers have implicated several genes, but it is unclear how they act to produce the disorder. A new study by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center identifies affected gene networks and provides insight into the molecular causes of the disease.

The paper was published today in the online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience.

Using an unbiased collection of hundreds of mutations associated with schizophrenia, the Columbia researchers applied a sophisticated computational approach to uncover hidden relationships among seemingly unrelated genes. The analysis revealed that many of the genes mutated in schizophrenia are organized into two main networks, which take part in a few key processes, including axon guidance, synapse function, neuron mobility, and chromosomal modification.

The study also uncovered an intriguing connection between schizophrenia and autism. "If we hadn't known that these were two different diseases, and had put all the mutations into a single analysis, it would have come up with very similar networks," said the study's senior author, Dennis Vitkup, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and the Columbia Initiative in Systems Biology at Columbia University Medical Center. "It shows how closely the autism and schizophrenia genetic networks are intertwined," he added.

Although it will take time to translate the findings into practical treatments, the study provides insight into the molecular causes of schizophrenia. It also suggests that mutations associated with schizophrenia, autism, and probably many other psychiatric disorders, are likely to converge on a set of interrelated molecular processes.

Computer analysis uncovers genetic networks

To discover potential connections among genes mutated in schizophrenia, Dr. Vitkup and colleagues developed a computational approach, called NETBAG+, to identify networks of genes likely to be responsible for the same genetic phenotype. They then gathered the strongest mutations that had been observed in schizophrenia by other researchersincluding a set of de novo mutations recently described by a team of Columbia researchers led by Maria Karayiorgou, MD, and Joseph A. Gogos, MD, PhDand fed them into the program.

The program uncovered two genetic networks. Genes in the first network are involved primarily in axon guidance, synapse function, and cell migration. Genes in the second network are involved in chromosomal organization and remodeling.

McElheny recalled being in attendance at a 1986 biology conference when the Human Genome Project was first seriously discussed. He noted that some of the scientists in attendance were aghast at the prospects of the venture. "They saw their money getting swallowed up in a big biology project," he mused. Ironically, he said, the concept was supported by the older scientists and vehemently opposed by their younger colleagues, who were skeptical of the potential of the project. Compounding the institutional intrigue, the Department of Energy pushed to develop the Human Genome Project, since it had the technological resources to undertake the venture. However, the National Institute of Health was troubled by the prospect of losing control over the "future of biology" and fought to be a part of the project, despite the reservations of "several key people" in the institution. In detailing some of the benefits of genomics, McElheny explained that ...From:USAMOONBASEViews:2 0ratingsTime:01:16:26More inEducation

US-X
Unlike Owls Aim for the Eyes, which musically tells a story, US-X is a piano piece performed as the climax of a story. Freakified Downtime is the third FOWL cd. It is an intensely personal and emotional journey, from goofy love songs, to dark ditties with improvised lyrics about the meaningless of life. US-X marks the first recording in the FOWL cannon of a continuing obsession of mine, playing with excessive delay. What follows is the tale of which US-X is a part of. Ten thousand odd years from now: The Earth #39;s oceans have receded, millennia has purified enough potable water to re-sustain life. New forms of plant matter claw their way through decayed concrete. The labyrinthine miles of a sewer system snaking its way through an entire continent drain. Air tight vaults sealed centuries ago crack open one by one. Fail safe after fail safe, long lost human genetics emerge towards the surface. A species evolved to the dark black depths of the sewer system, hunchbacked and small. Grey lifeless eyes, and ears attuned to hear the slightest nuance in reverb and echo to find scurrying rodents on which to feast. Stomachs evolved to digest algae #39;s and scum forming throughout their sealed world. The sewer hordes find the final moisture barrier appears to be clear of salt water. To be certain the oceans have receded, they release from the sewers a shit bat, one of the animals able to survive on human feces down below.

http://www.jetnews.us Date: 09-13-05 Host: George Noory Guests: Joel Garreau Reporter and editor at the Washington Post, Joel Garreau(1) talked about how we are engineering the next stage for human evolution through genetics, robotics, and nanotechnologies. There is an increasing emphasis on interfacing the mind with machines, he noted, citing recent experiments with a "telekinetic" monkey at Bell Labs as an example. The primate, whose brain was wired to a machine, was taught to control aspects of a video game by using just the thoughts in her head. The military #39;s DARPA is particularly interested in these mind-machine convergences said Garreau, and they #39;ve been experimenting with increasing the endurance and capacities of soldiers. For instance, it may be possible for a soldier to remain active for up to a week without sleep. Also on the horizon are "memory pills" to be aimed initially at "Baby Boomers banishing their senior moments," said Garreau. The drug companies already have these pharmaceutical products in Stage 2 Clinical Trials, he added. This evolving future could become our heaven or our hell, Garreau forecast. On the plus side you have advancements like life extension and the ability to grow new limbs, but on the down side, genetic and other types of experimentation might go awry and in a worst case scenario lead to species extinction.

Aswell as info on everything cannabis grow related. Aswell as now the herb form 3 wrold countrys, isnt as popular in our market. So when we get herb with seeds, the chances of the pollen coming from a ture male, are way lower. In 3rd world countrys the farmers plant from seed, in most cases. So they have to cull out males. In the US we tipicly grow from proven female clones. So when we have pollen in our room, or field, it most likly came from a hermie. Theirfor the bagseed is not f1, or f anythign for that matter.

He was found dead in his apartment with a piano wire wrapped around his neck. According to sources, it appeared that he repeatedly suffered torture before he was finally killed. Seven months prior to his death , Schneider did a lecture on the forces he had discovered at Dulce. This brave man #39;s final acts should not go unnoticed.......................... A joint alien/US military underground base exists, perhaps devoted to genetics. The theories regarding Dulce sometimes state that alien technology was traded for permission to engage in human and animal mutilations. A battle was said to have taken place there between aliens and humans, though the time of this alleged encounter varies from the 1970s to the 1980s. Some sources allege that horrific genetic experiments are conducted in lower levels of the facility (usually level 6 or 7, depending on the source); these levels are sometimes referred to as "Nightmare Hall."

BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Seattle Genetics, Inc. (SGEN) today announced that more than a dozen abstracts, in addition to several collaborator abstracts, for both ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) and investigational antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) will be presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, December 8 11, 2012. ADCETRIS is an ADC directed to CD30, which is known to be expressed in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL), as well as in some types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), B-cell lymphomas and mature T-cell lymphomas (MTCL). Seattle Genetics is broadly evaluating CD30 expression in many other cancer types. ADCETRIS is currently not approved for use in CTCL, B-cell lymphomas, and front-line treatment of HL or MTCL.

"The comprehensive data presented at ASH 2012 support our goal to establish ADCETRIS as the foundation of therapy for a broad array of CD30-positive malignancies and redefine therapy in the front-line setting of HL and MTCL, said Clay B. Siegall, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Genetics. "As a pioneer in developing ADC therapies, we continue to innovate by expanding the ADCETRIS program into CD30-positive malignancies, advancing additional ADC pipeline candidates, and supporting the progress of our collaborator ADC programs. These important advances represent our continued innovation and ADC leadership position."

Seattle Genetics is the leader in developing ADCs, a technology designed to harness the targeting ability of antibodies to deliver cell-killing agents directly to cancer cells. Of the approximately 30 ADC candidates currently in development, more than half utilize Seattle Genetics proprietary ADC technology. Multiple company, investigator and collaborator presentations will be presented at ASH, including data on ADCETRIS in many types of CD30-positive malignancies and preclinical data from a new ADC product candidate called SGN-CD33A. Abstract presentations planned at ASH can be found at http://www.hematology.org and include the following:

ADCETRIS Data in the Front-line Setting

ADCETRIS Data in CTCL

ADCETRIS Data in Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

Data on Other ADC Candidates and Collaborator Programs

About ADCETRIS

ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) is an ADC comprising an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody attached by a protease-cleavable linker to a microtubule disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), utilizing Seattle Genetics proprietary technology. The ADC employs a linker system that is designed to be stable in the bloodstream but to release MMAE upon internalization into CD30-expressing tumor cells.
