Parkinson's Disease Risk Indicators Found in Diverse Tissues
Tiny changes in DNA that have been linked to Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's, were found not only in brain cells, where they were expected, but also in liver, fat, immune and developmental cells. More...18 Aug 2016
Biomarker of Aggressive Prostate Cancer Discovered
The level of a specific molecule present in prostate tumors is an indicator of whether the cancer is aggressive and likely to spread and this will aid future clinical tests to help doctors decide how best to treat prostate tumors. More...18 Aug 2016
Sequins As Novel Internal Controls to Improve Genomic Analysis
Researchers have developed an intuitive technology called “Sequins” – synthetic “mirror” DNA sequences that reflect the human genome and can be used to better map, navigate, and analyze complexity within the genome. Currently human genome Sequins are freely available for research. More...

Novel Gene Discovered for Hereditary Colon Cancer
The formation of large numbers of polyps in the colon has a high probability of developing into colon cancer, if left untreated. The large-scale appearance of polyps is often due to a hereditary cause; in this case the disease can occur in multiple family members. More...08 Aug 2016
Gene Testing Simplified for Women with Ovarian Cancer
A new streamlined approach to genetic testing for women with ovarian cancer provides testing rapidly and affordably, allowing many more patients to benefit from personalized cancer management and their relatives to benefit from cancer prevention strategies. More...04 Aug 2016
HPV Test Approved for Use with SurePath Preservative Fluid
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections in the USA, and HPV genotypes 16 and 18 cause approximately 70 % of cervical cancers worldwide. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be an estimated 12,990 new cases and 4,120 deaths from cervical cancer in the USA during 2016. More...03 Aug 2016
