The Division of Intramural Research
 |
NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research plans and conducts a broad program of laboratory and clinical research to translate genomic and genetic research into a greater understanding of human genetic disease, and to develop better methods for the detection, prevention and treatment of heritable and genetic disorders. |
News and Events

NHGRI's Vence L. Bonham, J.D. and Erin M. Ramos, Ph.D., M.P.H. are authors of a commentary on a study that alerts the Canadian biomedical community of disparities in the health of an African Canadian group, suggesting that the findings may guide new health interventions to improve the health of racial and ethnic minorities in North America. The commentary titled, Unravelling the contribuions of social, environmental and genetic factors to health differences, is in the September 23, 2008 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

NHGRI's Dr. Benjamin Feldman and colleagues describe a method for viably isolating embryonic cells in zebrafish, which opens up numerous experimental possibilities for developmental biologists. The article, Transcriptional profiling of endogenous germ layer precursor cells identifies dusp4 as an essential gene in zebrafish endoderm specification, is in the August 26, 2008 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In an article in the August 26, 2008 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, NHGRI's Dr. Kyungjae Myung and colleagues report on the role of the genes HLTF and SHPRH in maintaining genomic stability in human cells. Polyubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen by HLTF and SHPRH prevents genomic instability from stalled replication forks. [Full Text]

K. J. Myung, Ph.D. won't just tell you about unstable genomes, he'll show you one. He studies genome instability, which is both a characteristic of and, in some cases, a trigger for many genetic diseases, including cancer. (more)
