Your browser does not support script Home Monday, April 07 2003 The Vanderbilt Program in Human Genetics (VPHG) was initiated in July, 1997 to bring a focus to human genetic research at Vanderbilt , to foster the expansion of this research, to help develop new initiatives that incorporate the latest in genetic information, and to develop appropriate training activities for a growing number of students interested in human genetics. The central theme of the VPHG is the understanding of how genes influence complex traits; traits that are influenced by the intricate interplay of multiple genes and environmental factors. This encompasses research at the molecular, clinical, and population levels performed by faculty in multiple departments and schools. Need help tracking your DNA samples?

We at Genelex, take to heart our motto: Science that benefits humanity . We are constantly monitoring the latest advances in genetic technology so we can update our panel of predictive genetic tests and offer you the latest tools available to help you understand and protect your health. Pharmacogenetic Testing (Drug Reaction Testing) The relatively new and emerging fields of pharmacogenetics studies how differences in individual genetic makeup affect the processing of drugs. We have known for about a half-century that individuals respond to the same drug and dosage in very different ways because of genetic variations called polymorphisms. Research shows that of all the clinical factors such as age, sex, weight, general health and liver function that alter a patient's response to drugs, genetic factors are the most important. Genelex is the first firm in the world to offer genetic drug reaction testing directly to the public, to learn more visit Drug Reaction Testing Nutritional Genetics Genelex offers a genetic nutrition analysis that combines an understanding of your genes with information from a lifestyle questionnaire to offer personalized dietary reccomendations that help keep your body working at an optimum level.

Our Genetic Nutrition Analysis Panel examines 7 genes that play major roles in your body's detoxification capacity, antioxidant capacity, alcohol metabolism capacity, and tissue repair. We combine this genetic information with information from a lifestyle questionnaire to provide personalized dietary recommendations that help keep your body working at an optimum level. Why is a personalized diet important? We all know our health is influenced by what we eat, drink and other well-known lifestyle choices that we make. The latest scientific research now shows that for each of us these choices can have greatly differing effects on our health. Small differences in your genes can influence how well your body metabolizes foods, utilizes nutrients and excretes damaging toxins, all of which can affect your general state of health. By finding out if you have any of these small variations, you can modify your diet and lifestyle choices to achieve optimum nutrition and health. How do we get your results?

Topics Biotechnology A Definition of Biotechnology Biotechnology and Your Career Careers in Biotechnology Research ... Topics Biotechnology Biotechnology is one of the most exciting new sciences of this century! The discovery that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the carrier of the genetic code for any form of life, can be transferred into any other form of life opens the door to a multitude of possibilities for genetically modified plants, animals, and microbes not found on earth-until now. A career that is impacted by biotechnology is not just a job. It is an invitation to participate in the development of new products and processes that could improve the quality of human life as much as any other discovery since the Industrial Revolution. Welcome to the "Biological Revolution"! Topics A Definition of Biotechnology One definition of biotechnology is "the deliberate manipulation of DNA molecules to produce commercial products from living organisms." All life is composed of cells that contain genes, and genes are made of DNA molecules. DNA contains information used by cells as a "blueprint" or plan for the animal, plant, or other organism. All the characteristics, or traits, of any living thing are determined by the information in the DNA plan. Scientists are learning how to transfer genes from one animal, plant, or other organism into another. Theoretically, almost any trait found in nature can be transferred into any chosen organism, even if it has never had this trait before. This process, called genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology, is an important aspect of biotechnology. It can be used to produce modified crop plants, livestock, proteins, vaccines, and drugs.

Mice Orders Services Strain Information Research Models ... Animal Health Genetic Quality Genetic Quality Monitoring 2001 GQC Annual Report Library Frequent Questions ... E-Mail Alerts Genetic Quality Control The Jackson Laboratory has over 70 years of experience in the maintenance of genetically defined laboratory mice. More than 2700 strains of mice have been maintained and distributed to researchers during this period. The valid interpretation of experimental results depends upon the assurance that the mouse models used are genetically pure and well defined. As the use of the mouse as a research tool to better understand the genetics of human diseases has increased, the scientific community acknowledges and has come to expect that JAX® Mice represent the gold standard for genetic purity. To ensure the genetic purity of JAX® Mice, The Jackson Laboratory has established rigorous quality control testing and monitoring programs. As a result of these comprehensive programs, investigators can be assured that the JAX® Mice they use in research studies will adhere to their expectations and requirements for genetic quality.

"Evolutionary algorithms start out with a randomly generated population of from 50 to 500 candidate solutions. At each time step, or generation, all the individuals are evaluated and assigned a number, called fitness. It's a measure of how good a solution it is. Then some percentage, usually between 20% and 80%, of the highest-fitness individuals get to reproduce. "They reproduce two ways: by cross-over, where you take one part of one individual and some part of another individual and combine them; and by mutation, where you randomly change parts of an individual. The offspring are put into the next generation, and the whole process starts again."

He believes a comprehensive genetic record is essential in the fight against crime and terrorism. Professor Watson, who is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) this year, considers that the potential benefits far outweigh any threat to privacy. "It is not that I am insensitive to the concerns about individual privacy, or to the potential for inappropriate use of genetic information, but it would make life safer," says Prof Watson, who is now president of the Cold Harbor laboratory in New York.
