First Use Of DNA Fingerprinting To Identify Viable Embryos

Fertility researchers have used DNA fingerprinting for the first time to identify which embryos have implanted after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and developed successfully to result in the births of healthy babies. The technique, combined with sampling cells from blastocysts (the very early embryo) before implantation in the womb, opens the way to pin-pointing a handful of genes that could be used to identify those blastocysts most likely to result in a successful pregnancy.

Chinese Scientists Gather DNA to Identify Dead

Forensic scientists in China are attempting to gather DNA from most of the bodies that perished in the recent earthquake. They hope that they will be able to match the DNA to surviving family members to identify those who died.

Order Ken''''s New DVD

If you’d like to identify the weakest link in your corn production yield chain, spend some time with this new DVD produced by Ken Ferrie. The Farm Journal Field Agronomist uses the hands-on DVD to go through a step-by-step process to systematically identify what’s right and what needs to be fixed in a corn field.

LSUHSC inventor awarded patent for new procedure to detect cancer spread

New Orleans, LA Eugene A. Woltering, MD, FACS, The James D. Rives Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Sections of Surgical Oncology & Endocrine Surgery at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has been awarded a US Patent for a one-step method to rapidly identify "sentinel nodes;" the lymph nodes most likely to contain early metastasis from a primary cancer. Preliminary research indicates that the procedure which consists of injection of a radiolabeled dye around a cancer can identify sentinel nodes that receive lymphatic drainage from the tumor within 10 minutes.

LSU Health Sciences Center Inventor Awarded Patent for New Procedure to Detect Cancer Spread

NEW ORLEANS, June 24 (AScribe Newswire) -- Eugene A. Woltering, MD, FACS, The James D. Rives Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Sections of Surgical Oncology & Endocrine Surgery at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has been awarded a US Patent for a one-step method to rapidly identify "sentinel nodes;" the lymph nodes most likely to contain early metastasis from a primary cancer. Preliminary research indicates that the procedure which consists of injection of a radiolabeled dye around a cancer can identify sentinel nodes that receive lymphatic drainage from the tumor within 10 minutes. Dr. Woltering's patent is based on linking a radioactive iodine molecule to the blue dye commonly used in these sentinel node procedures. One of the major ways to determining the prognosis of a cancer involves determining whether the cancer has met

Washingtonpost.com Wants Identities of Posters

mytrip recommends a News.com account of a panel discussion in which the Washington Post's online executive editor Jim Brady argued against anonymity on his site. He's welcome to try to carve out a space for civilized discourse, but it seems that he can't help alienating the Net-savvy whenever he opens his mouth to speak of it. "...he would like to see a technology that could identify people who violate site standards — and if need be — automatically kick them off for good... Brady also lamented that closing user accounts doesn't keep bad eggs off a site. They just come back and create new ones... Brady believes that in the next five years people will be required to identify themselves in some way at many sites. 'I don't know whether we do it with a credit card number, a driver's license or passport.

Scientists identify gender gene

AUSTRALIAN researchers have discovered how a change to one gene halts the process of an embryo becoming a boy.

Birds identify 'rogue' eggs by their colour

The cuckoo is notorious for fooling other birds into hatching its eggs, but there are birds that have the ability to catch them out.

Scientists identify gene variants linked to metabolic syndrome

Washington, June 18 : In a new study, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered five common genetic variations, which elevate the risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of factors linked to heart disease and diabetes.

Scientists identify protein critical for iron absorption

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have pinpointed an important protein that is essential for the normal absorption of iron in the body. The discovery could lead to novel therapies to block anemia during chronic diseases or to treat hemochromatosis, a genetic disease caused by an overabundance of iron.

Scientists identify genetic marker for nearsightedness

WASHINGTON: Nearsightedness or Myopia is a disorder that affects millions worldwide, and now researchers have discovered genetic markers that leads to this condition and also other refractive errors like farsightedness.

Scientists identify genetic cause for a type of childhood epilepsy

Imagine “blanking out” of consciousness up to 200 times daily while you’re learning in a classroom, playing baseball, taking ballet lessons or riding a bike. This is a common occurrence in the life of a child with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). The condition is associated with frequent “absent” seizures where the patient’s consciousness is impaired leaving the child staring blankly ahead not aware or responsive for up to 10 seconds at a time.
