Scientists identify key factor that clears the way for gene activation   Until human genes are activated, they are blocked by structures known as nucleosomes, components that serve to package DNA inside cells.         Study reveals the genetics underlying cerebral palsy and autism   Researchers from the Robinson Research Institute at the University of Adelaide have uncovered a genetic signal that is common to both cerebral palsy and autism.

Study discovers genetic variations that increase heart attack risk for statin patients   A Vanderbilt-led research team has discovered genetic variations that increase the risk of heart attack even when patients are receiving a statin drug like Lipitor or Crestor to lower their blood cholesterol.       Scientists discover a small family of proteins that control inclusion of DNA methylation marks in genome   Not all of your genome needs to be active at any given time. Some regions are prone to hopping around the genome in problematic ways if left unchecked; others code for genes that need to be turned off in certain cells or at certain times.       Researchers discover significant distortions in leading genetics study method   Many conclusions drawn from a common approach to the study of human genetics could be distorted because of a previously overlooked phenomenon, according to researchers at the Department of Genetics and Genomics Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute.       Scientists develop computer algorithm that reveals gene networks activated in cancer cell   Recent headlines have cast suspicion on social network analysis, which can mine data from the internet to target advertisements or potentially influence elections.
