A 5,000-year-old mummy displays a genetic signature no longer found in Europe, according to its complete mitochondrial DNA sequence. 
Impaired glutathione synthesis in schizophrenia: Convergent genetic and functional evidence
jimmy submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.pnas.org)
Schizophrenia is a complex multifactorial brain disorder with a genetic component. Convergent evidence has implicated oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) deficits in the pathogenesis of this disease. The aim of the present study was to test whether schizophrenia is associated with a deficit of GSH synthesis.

An international collaboration between European, Australian and American researchers has unveiled some of the genetic mysteries explaining why some people naturally keep HIV levels almost undetectable, whereas others quickly lose control of the infection.

Scientists have moved a step closer to understanding how our genetic make-up can lead us to develop heart disease and to predicting who is most at risk. In a study published today, they have confirmed six new genetic variants that increase the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease.
It's In Their Genes: Study Of Twins Connects Smoking Addiction With Major Depression

Ever wonder why smoking and depression seem to go together" A Saint Louis University School of Public Health researcher finds the connection is genetic.
Some genes raise one's risk of Crohn's disease

According the new study ,the researchers scanned the entire genome - all 22,000 genes - of about 6,000 people. About half had Crohn's disease and half did not.the findings showed genetics play a crucial role in the disease, an inflammatory bowel disease caused by a faulty response in the immune system, although environmental factors also are involved. For example, smoking raises one's risk.
PolyScan: An automatic indel and SNP detection approach to the analysis of human resequencing data
Reviver submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.genome.org)
"Small insertions and deletions (indels) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common genetic variants that are thought to be associated with a wide variety of human diseases. Owing to the genome’s size and complexity, manually characterizing each one of these variations in an individual is not practical. While significant progress has been made in automated single-base mutation discovery from the sequences of diploid PCR products, automated and reliable detection of indels continues to pose difficult challenges

Laing has brown skin and curly black hair, that she turned out to resemble a more distant ancestor. People like Laing, illustrate the complexity of the genes that determine our skin, hair and eye colour. Like those of twins where one has light skin and the other dark, has attracted much media attention. But they come as no surprise to geneticists.
DNA Test Pinpoints Elephant Poaching, Aiding Conservation

By 1989, more than half of African elephants had been slaughtered for their tusks. That year, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) banned international shipment of ivory and, combined with foreign aid to help African countries fight poaching, almost immediately brought an end to its trade. But, as ivory prices crept up during the 1990s and early 2000s, poaching returned. In June 2002, officials in Singapore seized a container from Malawi filled with 6.5 tons of ivory--requiring the deaths of as many as 6,500 African elephants

Some people in the US are denied jobs or insurance because of their genetic make-up looks set to be passed after 12 years of debate, but now ,there is a law can protect them.
“The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), introduced into Congress on 16 January, is sweeping through committees in the House of Representatives and is tipped to appear before the Senate and the full House within weeks. If passed, GINA will become the first federal law to prevent employers from collecting genetic information on their employees
Peru proposes international 'genetic passports'

Experts from 25 countries have backed a Peruvian proposal to create 'passports' for genetic resources — such as plants, animals and microorganisms — to help track their use outside the country of origin.
Gene in MHC :Couple's lasting happiness needs
Reviver submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.newscientist.com)
Analyse shows that specific genes belonging to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) – a set of genes that control the tags used by the immune system to differentiate between pathogens and cells belonging to the body. Psychologist Christine Garver-Apgar at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, US, and colleagues investigated whether genetic similarities among romantically involved couples predicted how faithful and sexually responsive the partners were to one another
British footprint database to help catch criminals
eudemon submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.sciam.com)
Britain is launching a database of thousands of shoes and shoe types next month to help track down criminals, thought to be the first of its kind in the world. The Footwear Intelligence Tool will be similar to the database of genetic samples that Britain created in 1995, which now has millions of DNA profiles.
Footwear marks at the scene are the second biggest evidence type behind blood and DNA, Like fingerprints, hair, blood or fibers, footprints are left at many crime scenes -- on carpets or bodies as well as in earth or mud -- and are often highly distinctive
Do you believe that skull shows possible human/Neanderthal breeding?
catherine submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.sciam.com)
A 40,000-year-old skull found in a Romanian cave shows traits of both modern humans and Neanderthals and might prove the two interbred. If the findings are confirmed,the skull would represent the oldest modern human remains yet found in Europe.
DNA samples taken from Neanderthal bones suggest there was no mixing, or at least that any Neanderthal genetic contribution did not make it to the modern DNA pool. But researchers examined the skull from the Pestera cu Oase, or the Cave with Bones, in southwestern Romania
