LegalView Reports Results of a Breakthrough Study Investigating Link Between Genetic Predisposition and Developing Mesothelioma Cancer

blog of an advanced scientific investigation studying the link between asbestos and genetics. Researchers, who found a genetic response to a specific type of asbestos known as crocidolite, published their findings in an August 2008 issue of BMC Genetics. The study, a first of its kind, used a methodology of exposing cells within the human lung lining to asbestos and then scientists watched the reaction and changes. The study offers mesothelioma victims a unprecedented look into how asbestos affects the human body. Victims were also provided with a gleam of progress on finding a cure for the condition, although the scientists stated more research is required.

We Predict a Google Genetic Map

Over at Genetic Future, Daniel MacArthur discusses the recent Lao paper from Current Biology that genotyped 2,514 people from 23 different European subpopulations. The researchers looked at 300,000 genetic markers and constructed a genetic map -- one that MacArthur says can nearly tell you your postcode. "The accuracy of the map will have been limited by the fact that the markers used in this study represent sites of common variation; data from large-scale genome sequencing will generate far, far better maps," writes MacArthur.

Genetic study confirms discovery of new fish in Pacific waters

A new genetic study has confirmed the discovery of a new species of fish-a grouper that reaches more than six feet in length and can weigh nearly 1,000 pounds, in the tropical reefs of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Two genes that could prevent HIV infection discovered, says study

CHICAGO: Scientists have isolated two genes which may prevent people from contracting HIV, or at least slow the rate at which they develop AIDS, a new study has found.

Scientists Generate the Most Precise Map of Genetic Recombination Ever

Genetic recombination, the process by which sexually reproducing organisms shuffle their genetic material when producing germ cells, leads to offspring with a new genetic make-up and influences the course of evolution.

Study Suggests Music Industry Embrace Piracy

unassimilatible writes to tell us that according to the Financial Times, the music industry should embrace illegal file-sharing websites. A recent study of the recent Radiohead album release found that huge numbers of illegal downloads actually helped the band's popularity and, by extension, concert ticket sales. "Radiohead's release of In Rainbows on a pay-what-you-want basis last October generated enormous traffic to the band's own website and intense speculation about how much fans had paid. He urged record companies to study the outcome and accept that file-sharing sites were here to stay. 'It's time to stop swimming against the tide of what people want,' he said." Update 19:46 GMT by SM: Several readers (including the original author) have written in to mention that it isn't stressed enough that this study was engaged by the music in

Delhi scientist wins CDRI award

Aseem Mishra, a scientist working with the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, has bagged the prestigious young scientist award instituted by the Lucknow-based Central Drug Research Institute.

Proposed Mission Could Study Space-Time Around Black Holes

What do black holes, magnetars and supernovae have in common? They all emit X-rays. But it's difficult, if not impossible to study certain aspects of the X-ray emissions from these powerful objects. And there's much we don't understand about how black holes distort space-time around them, or how magnetars affect their surroundings, or how cosmic rays are accelerated by shocks in supernova remnants. A proposed new NASA mission called Gravity and Extreme Magnetism (GEMS), will use a new technique to study what has been unattainable until now. GEMS won't study the X-ray emission of these objects directly, but will build up a picture indirectly by measuring the polarization of X-rays emitted from these violent regions.

2008 Digital Camera Usage and Satisfaction Study

The 2008 Digital Camera Usage and Satisfaction Study examines camera model lines in four body-style segments: point and shoot, premium point and shoot, ultra slim and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR). In each segment, four factors are measured to determine customer satisfaction: picture quality, performance, ease of operation, and appearance and styling. The study is based on responses from more than 8,000 consumers who purchased a digital camera between April 2007 and March 2008. The study was fielded in June and July 2008.

Mineral based gene therapy has curative powers: Scientist

Mumbai (PTI): Lying in a bathtub for an hour with the right minerals can repair faulty genes in your body and cure almost any illness ranging from cancer to the HIV virus and other genetic disorders like diabetes, a city based scientist has claimed.

Scientists ID Genetic Cause of HIV Virulence

THURSDAY, June 15 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they've identified the genetic mutation that makes the AIDS virus so deadly.

Autism breakthrough as study finds genetic link

Many cases of autism are caused by genetic defects that disrupt the brain's ability to learn, according to groundbreaking research that promises to lead to new therapies.

Software To Improve AIDS Survival?

Roland Piquepaille writes "There are more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. No cure or vaccine has been unveiled this week in Mexico during the International AIDS Conference. Still, European researchers have developed 'a predictive software system for HIV that could help extend the lives of victims of the killer disease.' The scientists working on the EuResist project have combined HIV databases in Italy, Sweden and Germany, creating what is probably the largest database on AIDS and HIV in the world. Armed with information about more than 18,000 patients, 64,000 therapies, and 240,000 viral mode measurements, the researchers have created new mathematical prediction models, which should soon be available to medical researchers and doctors all over the world.

Where To Draw the Line With Embryo Selection?

Tjeerd writes "There is currently a discussion going on in the Netherlands about embryo selection. The process means that when using in vitro fertilization, you can check what kind of genetic defects will definitely become activated during life. When embryos with those defects are identified, they can be avoided or destroyed. The next step the government is considering is to make it possible to select against genetic defects which might become active in life, such as breast and colon cancer. Of course, this is a very difficult discussion; where do you start, and where do you end? People are worrying that there is no real limit, and that you could potentially check for every genetic defect. I think if you're in a situation where you or your family have genetic defects, you surely want to check whether your children would have them too.

Study shows reducing piracy benefits Microsoft VARs, some experts disagree

A recent study shows that reducing piracy will benefit Microsoft VARs, arguing that the VARs' income will increase as a result. The IDC study, which was sponsored by Microsoft and the International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners, says that VARs, rather than retailers, would be the biggest beneficiary from a reduction in piracy.

Study Says One in Three Consumers Copy Commercial DVDs

A new research study suggests that commercial DVD piracy by consumers is increasing at a dramatic rate. And perhaps it should be little surprise, but the study was funded by Macrovision, which specializes in protecting digital content.
