Eugenics: Epigenetics, subhumanz, and the biofield (live and let live) – Video
Eugenics: Epigenetics, subhumanz, and the biofield (live and let live) Some more strategies and solutions to what I'm discussing here will be included in coming vlogs. This one is pretty conversational and straightforward even tho I'm a bit tired. I also go into a bit about the whole “organic portal” thing and why I don't fully agree with the party line about it.

Humans, chimpanzees and monkeys share DNA but not gene regulatory mechanisms
Public release date: 6-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Cathy Yarbrough press@ashg.org 858-243-1814 American Society of Human Genetics Humans share over 90% of their DNA with their primate cousins. The expression or activity patterns of genes differ across species in ways that help explain each species’ distinct biology and behavior. Continue reading

New insights into why humans are more susceptible to cancer and other diseases
Public release date: 23-Aug-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Mary Beth O’Leary moleary@cell.com 617-397-2802 Cell Press Chimpanzees rarely get cancer, or a variety of other diseases that commonly arise in humans, but their genomic DNA sequence is nearly identical to ours. So, what’s their secret Continue reading
Novel gene therapy approach may treat dysferlinopathies
The challenge of treating patients with genetic disorders in which a single mutated gene is simply too large to be replaced using traditional gene therapy techniques may soon be a thing of the past. A Nationwide Children’s Hospital study describes a new gene therapy approach capable of delivering full-length versions of large genes and improving skeletal muscle function Continue reading

Gene expression and peripheral blood as tools for pinpointing genes linked to autism
UCLA researchers have combined two tools – gene expression and the use of peripheral blood — to expand scientists’ arsenal of methods for pinpointing genes that play a role in autism. Published in the June 21 online edition of the American Journal of Human Genetics, the findings could help scientists zero in on genes that offer future therapeutic targets for the disorder Continue reading
Study explains functional links between autism and genes
Public release date: 21-Jun-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Mary Beth O’Leary moleary@cell.com 617-397-2802 Cell Press A pioneering report of genome-wide gene expression in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) finds genetic changes that help explain why one person has an ASD and another does not. The study, published by Cell Press on June 21 in The American Journal of Human Genetics, pinpoints ASD risk factors by comparing changes in gene expression with DNA mutation data in the same individuals. This innovative approach is likely to pave the way for future personalized medicine, not just for ASD but also for any disease with a genetic component Continue reading
Genetic test can accurately predict spread of eye cancer
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a genetic test that can accurately predict whether the most common form of eye cancer will spread to other parts of the body, particularly the liver. In 459 patients with ocular melanoma at 12 centers in the United States and Canada, the researchers found the test could successfully classify tumors more than 97 percent of the time.
