Hello fellow genetics enthusiasts,
I’m on vacation this week and next. So, head on over to Sandwalk where you can get plenty of gene action with issue #4 of Gene Genie. Genetics and Health won’t be completely lifeless while I’m taking a breather but it will be a little quieter while I try to rejuvenate myself.

Earlier this week, the National Sleep Foundation reported that more than half of American women are suffering from sleep deprivation. These women are too tired to have a good work and personal life and are completely stressed out. (I’m sure many of us can identify!) And if they also happen to have the long version […]
Last Thursday, I had the chance to meet Jason Bobe and Lisa Lee of DNA Direct, a direct-to-consumer DNA testing company based in San Francisco. You may remember the DNA Direct ad running on Genetics and Health for a few weeks leading people to their blog (much to some people’s disapproval). I think […]
Part of what I enjoy doing at Genetics and Health is to show a different perspective on genetics. Not just one of a scientist looking down on the world through her laboratory window, but also one of the world looking in on the lab. This series of genetics interviews will include scientists (some […]
Several years ago, I was an epidemiology consultant. One of my clients was Dr. David Moskowitz, a nephrologist based in St. Louis, MO, who is now the President, CEO, Chairman and Chief Medical Officer of Genomed. From the company profile:
GenoMed is a Next Generation DMtm company that uses medical genomics to improve patient […]

Good thing Emma Tonkin at Genomics Policy, a University of Glamorgan weblog, is on top of things. From her I found out that today is National DNA Day! Sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), it’s perfect timing because this week, I happen to be celebrating Genetics and Health’s first birthday.
What’s […]
How many genes does it take to be alive? In humans, it certainly takes more than one, but probably less than 25,000. Basic life forms such as bacteria may require twice as many “minimal genes” as previously thought.
By knocking out genes one at a time from a microbe’s genome, scientists identify which of […]
Genetics blogging started off on a good note this morning when I received an e-mail from Trevor Covert of Epigenetics News.
I have been a reader of Genetics and Health for quite awhile and enjoy all of the information and relevant issues that it brings to discussions around the break room at our lab.
Thank you […]
Google has been nominated for the 2006 Captain Hook Awards for Worst Corporate Offender:
Google are reportedly making their massive computing power available to the J Craig Venter Foundation for gene sequencing to generate a gene catalogue for all the genes on the planet. Individual users will then input their own genetic sequence for a read […]
