Personalized Medicine From Genomics and Bioinformatics Highlighted at UCSF Genetics Symposium

Posted: November 14, 2012 at 10:44 pm

Personalized medicine advances arising from genetic discoveries were the primary focus of wide-ranging presentations at the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics 2012 Symposium on Nov. 5.

Neil Risch, MD

Speakers described clinical research that has resulted in the identification of gene mutations that often drive deadly breast cancers in black populations; explained how rare mutations responsible for devastating developmental defects in infants can now be discovered in studies of just a handful of individuals from affected families; offered a preview of results expected to emerge from studies of genes and environment in hundreds of thousands of patients through a Kaiser Permanente-UCSF project; and described technical advances that continue to increase scientists ability to identify links between DNA and disease.

All the speakers are at the cutting edge of applying genomics and informatics to precision medicine, said the institutes director Neil Risch, MD, referring to an emerging trend in medicine in which treatment is tailored to the patient through a more precise diagnosis of disease.

At UCSF a crucible of biotechnology and home to Nobel laureates who identified a role for the mutation of normal genes in cancer major new initiatives are underway in clinical genetics and bioinformatics, Risch said.

The symposium led off with geneticist Eddy Rubin, MD, PhD, whose presentation demonstrated that genetic studies are being applied to human problems that extend even beyond the realm of medicine.

Eddy Rubin, MD, PhD

Rubin a scientist who oversaw the sequencing and analysis of 13 percent of the human genome as part of the original Human Genome Project has taken his research from studying abnormalities in DNA enhancers that may contribute to disease susceptibility or birth defects, to cutting global greenhouse gas emissions by manipulating gut microbes in sheep.

Early in his career, Rubin completed a medical genetics fellowship under the late Charles Epstein, MD, a founding director of the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics and a driving force behind medical genetics becoming an accredited medical specialty. Rubin was featured at the symposium as the named 2012 Charles J. and Lois B. Epstein Visiting Professor at UCSF.

Rubin, director of the Department of Energys Joint Genome Institute and director of the Genome Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is a pioneer in exploring DNA beyond genes, which until recently was a poorly understood realm that may nonetheless prove to be key to understanding fundamental aspects of biology and disease.

HTC Droid DNA Unboxing – Video

HTC Droid DNA Unboxing
HTC Droid DNA Unboxing By pocketnow.com "It is not a phablet." HTC #39;s stern declaration to the assembled press regarding the category of its latest Android smartphone was a little odd when it hit our ears at this morning #39;s announcement, but the reason for the fuss quickly became apparent. Any time a company launches a device that breaks the five-inch-display barrier, there #39;s bound to be speculation about its size -surely mammoth- and its weight -surely massive. In heading off the "phablet" talk right at the top of the announcement, HTC and Verizon let everyone know that despite its massive screen, the new Droid DNA was very definitely 100% smartphone, 0% tablet. The screen #39;s size isn #39;t the only distinction the DNA enjoys; it #39;s the first 1080p-capable smartphone display to hit American shores, and it features viewing angles up to 80 degrees, as well as brightness that HTC claims beats the Galaxy S III #39;s display by 50%. Add in some Beats audio, wireless charging, new camera software, and a bunch of features inherited from the Windows Phone 8X, and you #39;ve got yourself a recipe for one brutal beast of a smartphone. Thanks to the fine folks at HTC and Verizon Wireless, we #39;ve got ourselves a review unit of our very own. Check out our hands-on treatment from this morning #39;s announcement, then hop on down to the video below to see it unboxed. Or reverse that order; we don #39;t care. Do what feels right. Then hold tight for a few days, because we #39;ve got a full review of the Droid DNA ...From:TheUnboxingAllViews:0 0ratingsTime:04:22More inScience Technology

The News Crunch - Nexus, HTC and Jellyfish Cancer Cure
Your News Crunch for the . In today #39;s news Google has begun to accept orders today for the Nexus 7 starting from $299 for 32GB and 3G The Nexus 7 just keeps giving us surprises and now can be ordered with 3G from $299. Adding a 3G option brings it inline with other offering like the iPad mini but without and LTE version, will it surpass the mini #39;s sales? ------------------------- The Nexus line is growing every year and now has 3 different form factors ranging from 4 to 10 inches Selling like hot cakes, the Nexus 4 and 10 launched today with stocks already dwindling for the Nexus 10 and the 4 already sold out. The 4 inch iteration has capacity from 8GB to 16GB. Not as large as the iPhone line but for almost $250 less than the premier i-option it still is amazing for the features it offers ------------------------- HTC has officially announced it #39;s Droid DNA which will debut on Verizon starting from $200 on a 24 month contract In a twist to what was thought to be a single line year for HTC with their One series, the Droid DNA offers an upgraded version of the One X+. With 16GB of built-in storage and no microSD card slot this is very similar to the Nexus 4 which was released for sale on the same day. With an edge to edge 1080p display the specs match up with that of most current market smartphone. Will this be a success over the Nexus 4 which is contract-free? ------------------------- A Jelly-Fish like microchip has been developed in Boston that is said to remove ...From:TheNewsCrunchViews:1 0ratingsTime:02:00More inScience Technology

Verizon Droid DNA and the ThunderBolt
What a difference a year and a half makes, eh? OK, call it 20 months, maybe. Regardless, here #39;s the brand-new Verizon Droid DNA, and the aging ThunderBolt. HTC phones, both. One represents the manufacturer #39;s first go at an LTE device, back when the technology was new, and design (and battery life) suffered for it. A 4.3-inch display. Mere 1400 mAh battery. And, damn, was that thing ever thick.From:AndroidCentralViews:1 0ratingsTime:01:52More inScience Technology

HTC Droid DNA vs LG Optimus G – Video

HTC Droid DNA vs LG Optimus G
Verizon and HTC took the veil off their new 5-inch superphone yesterday in New York City, and we were there to cover it. We took home a review unit that evening, and before we even got a chance to unbox it, Joe Levi was asking questions. In an editorial on the first-of-its-kind device, Joe speculated that the huge pixel count on the Droid DNA #39;s 1080p display might cause it to run more slowly than comparably specced devices. Devices like the LG Optimus G, which is also powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro backed up by 2GB of RAM, and one of which we just happen to have handy here in the office. Our full review of the HTC Droid DNA is forthcoming, but for now, sate your appetite for new-Droid news with this video. Will the HTC-powered superphone rise to the occasion, thwarting the South Korean rival running yesterday #39;s OS, or will it choke on its own overdose of pixels? We #39;ve got a few app-launch load times, benchmarks, and even some simultaneous double-fisted gaming ready to help answer that question. It #39;s not all scientific apples-to-apples comparison, but it #39;s all real-world useful, and it #39;s a lot of fun.
