Any scientific opinions or discussions posted do not necessarily reflect the opinion of other Center faculty or staff or the Center's executive management. Our Research The Human Genomics Laboratory investigates the genetic and molecular basis of the response to a physically active lifestyle with an emphasis on cardiorespiratory endurance, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes risk factors, as well as genetic and molecular background of obesity and abdominal obesity and their co-morbidities. It relies primarily on the resources of the HERITAGE Family Study , the , the CARDIA Longitudinal Study the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) Study the GENATHLETE Study , and the HYPGENE Study Our main project focusing on genotype-physical activity interactions is the HERITAGE Family Study. The aim of the HERITAGE Family Study is to document the cardiovascular and metabolic responses to endurance exercise training, and the contribution of genetic factors to the concomitant response of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk factors. Phase 1 of HERITAGE (1992 to 1997) was devoted to the recruitment of White and Black families, and extensive testing of all individuals before and after a 20-week laboratory-controlled and fully standardized exercise program. Five centers were involved: University of Minnesota (PI: A. Leon), University of Arizona and then University of Indiana (PI: J. Skinner), University of Texas at Austin (PI: J. Wilmore), Washington University (PI: D.C. Rao), and Laval University in Quebec City (PI: C. Bouchard). Washington University served as the Data Coordinating Center (PI: Rao). C.

30. Human Genomics In China

    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-01/sicp-hgi010709.php
    
    Extractions: Science in China Press Ten years ago, the Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai (South Center, hereafter) was established in the Zhangjiang HiTech Park of Pudong District in Shanghai. To commemorate this important event, which marks the beginning of the Genomics Era in China, we specially organize a series of mini-reviews for this special issue. We hope that this effort may draw the attention of the Chinese life science research workers to collectively recall the short but fruitful history of human genome project and coordinately explore the trend and goal of the future development of this academic discipline in China. In contrast to the situation in China, from the 1960s to the 1980s, life science worldwide was led by genetics and molecular biology, i.e., studying DNA/RNA and the flow of genetic information (central dogma), whereas in China these disciplines were severely hampered, with few scientists such as Prof. TAN Jia-Zhen to be the only leading scientist to defend Morgan's theory for a long time. That should be one of the reasons why China's life science was largely behind the world development trend for decades. However, in the early 1990s, with the incoming "scientific spring", Chinese life scientists grasped the historical opportunity of HGP to catch up with the world cutting-edge life science and realized a frogleap forward.

    Extractions: Site Map The Human Genome Project (HGP) refers to the international 13-year effort, formally begun in October 1990 and completed in 2003, to discover all the estimated 20,000-25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. Another project goal was to determine the complete sequence of the 3 billion DNA subunits (bases in the human genome). As part of the HGP, parallel studies were carried out on selected model organisms such as the bacterium E. coli

    Extractions: The Dream of the Human Genome and Other Illusions New York Review Books 2000 A book review by Danny Yee It Ain't Necessarily So is a selection of book reviews originally published in the New York Review, in which Lewontin tackles topics in the philosophy, history, and politics of biology. Also included are some exchanges which followed the reviews and some updates written for this collection. Lewontin is an attractive stylist and a lively polemicist as well as an incisive thinker, and this collection shows him off to good effect, especially when the selection of books under review allows him to address topics in depth, in what are more essays than reviews. Some of the pieces are however a bit scattered and there is a degree of repetition between them, so anyone after a more systematic presentation of Lewontin's ideas should probably start with his books, perhaps with The Triple Helix , on genes and organisms and environments, or Human Diversity The pieces are presented in chronological order.

    Extractions: Main content The Human Genome Project and related initiatives, have introduced powerful new methods to the study of genes. Genomics has laid the foundations for a new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease, and introduced new possibilities for reproductive choices. This progress is accompanied by important ethical and social issues. Although many of these issues are not unique to genomics (such as confidentiality, informed consent, discrimination and stigmatisation, etc.), they require focused consideration in the context of genomics. Genomics is special in that gene-based approaches introduce a new language of “probability” and “susceptibility” to medical care, and furnish information about disorders; that often is of great interest to third parties – be they families, governments, insurance companies, law enforcement or scientific researchers. This section highlights the key ethical concerns of human genomics and gives access to data about existing international regulations in genetics in relation to topics like pharmacogenomics and gene therapy among others. You also have access to ethicists on the GRC expert panel that can provide more specific answers to your concerns on the subject.

    Extractions: About Us People Research Core Resources ... Research Contacts Dr. Pericak-Vance is the Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Department Professor of Human Genomics and Director of the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics . She is a founding fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics and a board-certified Ph.D. medical geneticist. Dr. Pericak-Vance is a global leader in the genetics of common diseases. She excels at the integration of genomic and statistical technologies and their application to diseases of public health importance in general, and to neurologic diseases in particular. Her more than 400 peer-reviewed papers demonstrate outstanding productivity and establish important milestones in diseases that include tuberous sclerosis, the muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), autism, and Alzheimer disease (AD). She pioneered the use of novel disease gene mapping, leading to the identification of apolipoprotein E (APOE) as the major susceptibility gene for AD. Her recent accomplishments include the 2007 identification of the IL7R risk gene for multiple sclerosis, the 2005 discovery of the CFH gene that determines an individual's risk for developing age-related macular degeneration, and the identification of a gene contributing to the expression of age-at-onset in AD and PD in 2003. Her greatest contribution has been her leadership in the application of methodological innovations capitalizing on the Human Genome Project that affect not only the neurological sciences but all of medicine. Dr. Pericak-Vance is internationally recognized by her peers as a leader in human genetics research. In 1997, Newsweek magazine named Dr. Pericak-Vance to the "Century Club: 100 People to Watch as We Move to the Next Millennium." In 2001, Dr. Pericak-Vance and Dr. Jeffery M. Vance received the McKnight Memory and Brain Disorders Award for "Studies of Mitochondrial Haplogroups in Alzheimer Disease Families." Also in 2001, Dr. Pericak-Vance received the international "Louis D" Scientific Prize from the Institut de France's Academie des Sciences for her AD research. She was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2004. Dr. Pericak-Vance holds numerous research grants through the National Institutes of Health that support her research into the genetics of complex disease.

40. The Human Genome Discovery
    Article about the human genome and its discovery. Includes diagram of the biological Rosetta Stone and a table of human genome statistics.  
    http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/genome.html
    
    Extractions: S cientists have cracked the code, the longest, tiniest imaginable, most important, oldest code: the code of human life, the DNA sequence of humanity. The numerics are staggering: written in just a four-letter alphabet (A, T, C, G), the human genome is around 3 billion letters long (or about one billion "words" in length since each word (a codon) is three letters long), and there are around 600 billion-trillion copies of it on Earth (6 billion people times 100 trillion cells per person). It took about 3 billion years to create (the age of life on Earth) and only 15 years to decipher if one starts at the beginning of the Human Genome Project. Alternatively, it might be argued that it has taken several 100,000 years (the age of Homo sapiens ) for humans to look inside themselves and figure out their vital essence. The human genome is the crown jewel of 20 years of biological research, the most important accomplishment in the field to date. On a scale unmatched in the history of biology, it has been a massive project built on the scientific endeavors of decades of dedicated investigators. In effect, biologists have climbed Mount Sinai and brought back the hitherto secret scriptures of life.
