Whale tales: Students set sail for biology class research

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Water from Hilo Bay came splashing up as giant waves rocked a boat holding several University of Hawaii at Hilo students on the lookout Wednesday morning. Whale! Whale! shouted Zach Taylor, a 21-year-old marine science major at UH-Hilo. Taylor and his peers have been spotting humpback whales in the bay since January as part of UH-Hilo associate professor Dr. Jason Turners Biology of Marine Mammals Lab. The course provides aspiring marine science researchers at UH-Hilo with hands-on data collection experience. On top of learning a variety of topics ranging from the evolution, systematics and biogeography of marine mammal groups to an overview of their musculoskeletal systems and dive physiology, the students in Turners class learn what it means to be in the field, seasickness and all. Wednesday mornings waves had some students sitting back clutching their stomachs, but their eyes never left the horizon where they gazed the ocean for spouts of water coming from the whales blowholes. Strapped with DSLR cameras, binoculars, timers and record sheets, the students were separated into different groups where they kept track of any whales spotted every five minutes. With only three whales being recorded Wednesday, Turner explained the humpbacks migrate to Hawaii each … Continue reading →

Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics The U-M Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (DCM&B) was launched in January 2012. Its purpose is to create novel informatics and computationally-based methods, tools, and algorithms to extend the capabilities and results of basic and clinical research. The department consists of the Bioinformatics Graduate Program, the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB), the Bioinformatics Core, and the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI). DCM&B is led by Dr. Brian Athey, the department chair. - View Core Faculty The Bioinformatics Graduate Program was established as an interdepartmental program in 1998 at the University of Michigan, and enrolled its first class in 2001. The Bioinformatics Graduate Program is led by co-directors Dr. Margit Burmeister, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Genetics and Dr. Daniel M. Burns Jr., Professor of Mathematics. The program maintains a graduate student body of approximately 45 Ph.D. and Master's students combined. The U-M Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB) is a campus-wide interdisciplinary academic center with over 100 affiliated faculty members. The faculty membership of CCMB has a strong representation from diverse fields such as mathematics, computer science, and statistics, and is complemented by faculty with biological and biomedical … Continue reading →

Identified epigenetic factors associated with increased risk of developing cancer

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

In 10% of human tumors there is a family history of hereditary disease associated with mutations in identified genes. The best examples are the cases of polyps in the large intestine associated with the APC gene and breast cancer associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In the remaining 90% of cases are believed to have an increased risk of developing cancer in relation to genetic variants less powerful but more often, for example, doubles the risk of having a tumor that lacks this small change, called polymorphisms. In the last decade, hundreds of studies have been conducted looking for polymorphisms associated with a greater propensity to suffer some of the most frequent human tumors. These tests, called GWAS, have found a common problem: many times the tiny genetic change observed appears to have no activity or function to explain because it is associated with more cancer. Today, an article published in Cell Reports led by Manel Esteller, Director of Epigenetics and Cancer Biology, Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) , ICREA researcher and Professor of Genetics at the University of Barcelona, solves part of this enigma . Research shows that in one in four human tumor exist genetic polymorphisms associated with … Continue reading →

Anatomy – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Posted: Published on April 10th, 2014

Anatomy (from the Greek anatemn "I cut up, cut open" from ana "on, upon", and temn "I cut") is the study of the body plan of animals. In some of its facets, anatomy is closely related to embryology, comparative anatomy and comparative embryology,[1] through common roots in evolution. Human anatomy is important in medicine. The discipline of anatomy is subdivided into gross (or macroscopic) anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy is the study of structures that can, when suitably presented or dissected, be seen by unaided vision with the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy is the study of structures on a microscopic scale, including histology (the study of tissues) and cytology (the study of cells). The history of anatomy is characterized by a continual development in understanding of the functions of the organs and structures of the human body. Methods have also improved dramatically, advancing from examination of animals through dissection of cadavers (dead human bodies) to 20th century techniques including X-ray, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Anatomy is the scientific study of the structure of living things including their systems, organs, and tissues. It includes the appearance and position of the various parts, the materials from which they are composed, … Continue reading →
