Gene Panel May Be Able to Identify Existing and Potential Alcoholics
A Convergent Functional Genomics approach was used to discover genes involved in alcoholism in a study that has implications for genetic testing to assess risk for developing an illness before the illness manifests itself clinically. More...02 Jun 2014

Two Genes Together Drive Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Two genes work together to drive the most lethal forms of prostate cancer, and these findings could lead to a diagnostic test for identifying those tumors envisaged to become aggressive and to the development of novel combination therapy for the disease. More...28 May 2014
