February 9, 2012 :Fruit Fly Genome Catalog Completed 
From North Carolina State University:Scientists searching for the genomics version of the holy grail — more insight into predicting how an animal's genes affect physical or behavioral traits — now have a reference manual that should speed gene discoveries in everything from pest control to personalized medicine. In a paper published Feb. 8 in Nature, North Carolina State University genetics researchers team with scientists from across the globe to describe the new reference manual - the Drosophila melanogaster Reference Panel, or DGRP. The research was funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute. January 12, 2012 :Gut microbe networks differ from norm in obese people, systems biology approach reveals
From the University of Washington : For the first time, researchers have analyzed the multitude of microorganisms residing in the human gut as a complex, integrated biological system, rather than a set of separate species. Their approach has revealed patterns that correspond with excess body weight. The research was funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute.January 11, 2012 :Chemotherapy may influence leukemia relapse
From the Washington University in St. Louis : The chemotherapy drugs required to push a common form of adult leukemia into remission may contribute to DNA damage that can lead to a relapse of the disease in some patients, findings of a new study suggest. The research, by a team of physicians and scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is published Jan. 11 in the advance online edition of Nature. The research was funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute.
