Prof Mike Lenardo When the human genome, or DNA, was first sequenced, it took a huge international effort and about three billion dollars to get the project across the line in the early 2000s. Today, we can get genome data for a human within hours, and the cost ranks in thousands rather than billions. Next week, immunologist Prof Mike Lenardo will be in Dublin to give a talk about how advances in DNA genomics are helping researchers to understand conditions such as cancer and Alzheimers, and how he uses those tools to figure out how changes in the immune system affect health. My lab studies rare genetic diseases of the immune system, says Lenardo, who is based at the National Institutes of Health in the US. When we learn which genes are involved, we can get an idea in some cases about how to treat these rare disorders, and what we find can also point us to what goes wrong in more common allergies and how some people are more susceptible to infections. The scientific tools we have now, based on these new genomic technologies, are much more powerful today than they were even five years ago. Prof Lenardo will … Continue reading →

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Our DNA is under constant attack from many sources, including environmental pollutants, ultraviolet light, and radiation. Fortunately, cells have several major DNA repair systems that can fix this damage, which may lead to cancer and other diseases if not mended. The effectiveness of these repair systems varies greatly from person to person; scientists believe that this variability may explain why some people get cancer while others exposed to similar DNA-damaging agents do not. A team of MIT researchers has now developed a test that can rapidly assess several of these repair systems, which could help determine individuals risk of developing cancer and help doctors predict how a given patient will respond to chemotherapy drugs. The new test, described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of April 21, can analyze four types of DNA repair capacity simultaneously, in less than 24 hours. Previous tests have been able to evaluate only one system at a time. All of the repair pathways work differently, and the existing technology to measure each of those pathways is very different for each one. It takes expertise, its time-consuming, and its labor-intensive, says Zachary … Continue reading →

DNA evidence has linked a Hollywood man to the rape of a woman who was targeted while taking trash out to a motel dumpster, police say. Jamal Hanna, 28, was charged with sexual assault and kidnapping after a lab report "stated that with reasonable scientific certainty" he was considered the source of the DNA found on the woman who was raped, a Hollywood police report said. Police responded to the sexual assault shortly before 3 a.m. Sept. 27, 2013, after the woman escaped from her attacker through a bathroom window that she broke and crawled through, the report said. She managed to convince Hanna to allow her to shower after the assault and cut her thigh badly on glass shards as she fled, the report said. Police found her in the 1600 block of North Federal Highway near the motel where the rape happened, officials said. The woman's ordeal began when she was approached by a stranger while she tossed garbage in the dumpster. Hanna put his hands around her throat and forced her to a darkened area behind the motel, where he made her perform a sex act, the report said. Hanna then took her to a motel room … Continue reading →
