By ashley1234

  • Human Genome Completed

    The Human Genome project was complete.

  • Identifly the gene

    researchers identify the gene that causes the premature aging disorder progeria.

  • Discovering a method.

    aid researchers in discovering safer methods of gene therapy.

  • Completed Sequence

    A detailed analysis of the just-completed sequence of the human Y chromosome.

  • Uncovering

    multinational team of scientists uncovers structural features that appear to promote genetic changes that can cause disease.

  • Chimpanzee and Humans

    Research Institute announces the first draft version of the chimpanzee genome sequence and its alignment with the human genome.

  • Transgenic animals

    Human Genome Research Institute and other scientists successfully create transgenic animals using sperm genetically modified and grown in a laboratory dish, an achievement with implications for wide ranging research, from developmental biology to gene therapy.

  • model organisms

    Human Genome Research Institute's Large-Scale Sequencing Research Network announces it will begin sequencing the genome of the first marsupial, the gray short-tailed South American opossum, and more than a dozen other model organisms to further advance our understanding of the human genome.

  • Type 2 diabetes

    Human Genome Research Institute and other scientists find variants in a gene that may predispose people to type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease.

  • reducing human protein coding genes

    Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, led in the United States by the National Human Genome Research Institute and the Department of Energy (DOE). Reducing the estimated number of human protein-coding genes from 35,000 to only 20,000-25,000, a surprisingly low number for our species.

  • First bird to be sequenced and analizyed

    Human Genome Research Institute and the International Chicken Genome Sequencing Consortium announces the publication of an analysis comparing the chicken and human genomes. It is the first bird to have its genome sequenced and analyzed.

  • x chromosome

    Human Genome Project, the National Institutes of Health hails the first comprehensive analysis of the sequence of the human X chromosome, saying that this provides sweeping new insights into the evolution of sex chromosomes and the biological differences between males and females.

  • anti cancer drugs

    a class of experimental anti-cancer drugs shows promise in laboratory studies for treating the fatal genetic disorder that causes premature aging.

  • Human and Chimpanzee

    The first comprehensive comparison of the genetic blueprints of humans and chimpanzees shows our closest living relatives share perfect identity with 96 percent of our DNA sequence.

  • understanding molecular basis

    National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute launches a comprehensive effort to accelerate understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, especially large-scale genome sequencing.

  • risk factors for type 2 diabetes

    Human Genome Research Institute researchers identify new genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes. In the most comprehensive look at genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes to date, a U.S.- Finnish team, working in close collaboration with two other groups, has identified at least four new genetic variants associated with increased risk of diabetes and confirmed existence of another six.

  • investigate level of healthy

    a study to investigate the interest level of healthy, young adults in receiving genetic testing for eight common conditions.

  • map changes lung cancer

    Human Genome Research Institute, announces that its systematic effort to map the genomic changes underlying lung cancer has uncovered a critical gene alteration not previously linked to any form of cancer.

  • saftey of chemicals

    Testing the safety of chemicals ranging from pesticides to household cleaners will benefit from new technologies and a plan for collaboration

  • a new venue for research

    a new venue for research about the way populations are impacted by diseases, including obesity, diabetes and hypertension. NICGHD will employ a genomics approach, collecting and analyzing genetic, clinical, lifestyle and socio-economic data to study a range of clinical conditions that have puzzled and troubled public health experts for decades.

  • cancer

    Research organizations from around the world announce they are launching the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), a collaboration designed to generate high-quality genomic data on up to 50 types of cancer through efforts projected to take up to a decade

  • detecting functional regions

    found a new way of detecting functional regions in the human genome. The novel approach involves looking at the three-dimensional shape of the genome's DNA and not just reading the sequence of the four-letter alphabet of its DNA bases.

  • identifiying the gene

    researchers have identified a gene that suppresses tumor growth in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. As part of a systematic genetic analysis of a group of enzymes implicated in skin cancer and many other types of cancer.
