Record number of genomes being decoded, but cost of DNA sequencing might not fall much further, says Illumina president. Francis de Souza, president of Illumina Henry Ford kept lowering the price of cars, and more people kept buying them. The San Diegobased gene sequencing company Illumina has been doing something similar with the tools needed to interpret the human genetic code. A record 228,000 human genomes will be completely sequenced this year by researchers around the globe, said Francis de Souza, president of Illumina, the maker of machines for DNA sequencing, during MIT Technology Reviews EmTech conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts. De Souza said Illuminas estimates suggest that the number will continue to double about every 12 months, reaching 1.6 million genomes by 2017, as the technology shifts from a phase of collapsing prices to expanding use in medicine. The price of sequencing a single genome has dropped from the $3 billion spent by the original Human Genome Project 13 years ago to as little as $1,000, he said. During an interview, De Souza questioned whether the price would keep falling at that rate. Its not clear you can get another order of magnitude out of this, he said. Instead, he … Continue reading →

Most organisms, including humans, have parasitic DNA fragments called "jumping genes" that insert themselves into DNA molecules, disrupting genetic instructions in the process. And that phenomenon can result in age-related diseases such as cancer. But researchers at the University of Rochester now report that the "jumping genes" in mice become active as the mice age when a multi-function protein stops keeping them in check in order to take on another role. In a study published today in Nature Communications, Professor of Biology Vera Gorbunova and Assistant Professor of Biology Andrei Seluanov explain that a protein called Sirt6 is needed to keep the jumping genes -- technically known as retrotransposons -- inactive. That's an entirely different function from the ones scientists had long associated with Sirt6, such as the repairing of broken DNA molecules and regulating metabolism. "About half of the human genome is made up of retrotransposons," said Gorbunova. "By better understanding why these genomic parasites become active, we hope to better understand and perhaps delay the aging process in humans." For the most part, retrotransposons remain silent and inactive in organisms' genomes. But once they do become active, these DNA fragments can duplicate themselves and "jump" to new areas … Continue reading →

More than a year and a half after a Lake Worth armed burglary, Palm Beach County Sheriffs deputies arrested a man through a connection of DNA and an accomplice-turned witness, according to an arrest report. In February 2013, three men were caught on video breaking into a Lake Worth home and getting away with about $2,700 worth of property including a television, an Xbox, a PlayStation, a skateboard and a projector, the report said. The three were driven away in a black BMW. One of the men put black spray paint on an outdoor surveillance camera, but indoor cameras caught the movements the men, who had their faces covered. DNA found on articles of clothing worn during the alleged incident later placed Andrew Crammer, Avalon George and Brandon Castro at the scene. All three men were on camera wearing the articles of clothing that had matching DNA, the report said. Crammer, 20, was also holding a handgun during the burglary, the report said. He also unmasks himself during the video and the image closely matches his likeness, the report said. No recent arrest records appear for George or Castro in connection to this incident. Both have previous arrests and Crammer … Continue reading →

The Personalized Medicine Coalition announced that Daryl Pritchard will be its new VP of science policy, in charge of promoting the organization's science-related policies and of raising awareness of precision healthcare issues among policymakers, providers, and patients. Before joining PMC, Pritchard was director of policy research at the National Pharmaceutical Council; director of research programs advocacy and personalized medicine at the Biotechnology Industry Organization; and the director of government affairs for the American Association for Dental Research. Nabsys has appointed Steve Lombardi to president, CEO, and to its board of directors. Previously, he was CEO of Real Time Genomics, and before that he was CEO of Helicos BioSciences. He has also served as senior vice president of Affymetrix and vice president of genetic analysis at Applied Biosystems. Roche said this week that Arthur Levinson has resigned from its board of directors, effective immediately. The drugmaker said Levinson, who was chairman and CEO at Genentech from 1999 to 2014, made the decision to avoid any conflict with his post as CEO at Calico, a Google-backed startup. Levinson has served on Roche's board since 2010. Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute said this week it has named Perry Nisen as its CEO and … Continue reading →
