Although artemisinin has become the world’s most important malaria medicine, Keasling wasn’t an expert on infectious diseases. But he happened to be in the process of crFor instance, Navigenics offers just medical markers, and deCODEme provides several markers discovered by their own scientists working at parent company deCODE Genetics .

An international team of scientists has decoded the full genetic sequence, or genome, of Phytophthora infestans, which is a water mold that causes the serious potato disease known as late blight or potato blight. The genome resulted from a large international effort to understand the genetics of a plant disease that has evaded many control efforts.

In the past week there have been so many articles and posts about either genetic genealogy or DTC genetics that I’m writing them up as a summary post rather than individually. The New York Times Tackles DTC Genetic Testing An article in yesterday’s New York Times by Jane E. Brody – “ Buyer Beware of Home DNA Tests ” – argues that DTC genetic testing is fraught with danger between southern Europeans and Near Easterners, and form a distinct cluster of their own at K=3 seems to support my theory that most of the European ancestry in Jews is of ancient origin in southern Europe rather than due to recent admixture with Central/Eastern Europeans: at K=2 the ancestral component

There is a growing consensus that the information age is about to give way to the era of synthetic genetics. That was underscored recently when Harvard geneticist George Church and J. Craig Venter — of the race to decode the human genome fame — gave lectures before a small group of scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and writers in West Hollywood. The event, billed as “A Short Course on Synthetic Genomics,” was organized by John Brockman, the literary impresariSome people just can’t get rid of their acne, or chronic pain, or psoriasis, no matter what treatment their doctor recommends.

It allows anyone who is facing a tough medical decision to draw upon the experience of crowds. “People witThe Burrill Report submits: by Marie Daghlian Two life sciences managed to crack open the IPO window this week, although neither was a biotech company and both were backed by private equity firms rather than venture capital.

Schizophrenia baffles most; people often associate the disease with a loose conglomeration of symptoms such as hearing voices and hallucinations. Even the word schizophrenia is misleading—it roughly translates to the splitting of the mind. Researchers have been struggling to understand the disease, which only affects 1 percent of the U.S. population, but is one of the most debilitating mental illnesses. Three new studies in the journal Nature have shown that a few small changes in our genome
