The B+ Foundation
The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation was born out of tragedy after athlete and #39;A #39; student Andrew McDonough passed away from complications of leukemia on July 14th 2007, at age 14. Andrew #39;s blood type and the family #39;s motto was, and continues to be, "B+"... "Be Positive". The overall goal of The B+ Foundation is to "Do Good." Our primary objectives are: - Sponsor research to find cures for pediatric cancers and improved treatment protocols. In 2011, we awarded $270000 in research grants and in the first half of 2012, we awarded a $140000 research grant to the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project at St. Jude. - Provide assistance to families of children with cancer nationwide. In 2011 alone, we provided over $500000 to families. -Keep the B+ Mission alive! Andrew taught us to have fun, show affection, set goals and try our best, appreciate all the blessings that we have, and to keep our lives in perspective. And, to make time for our loved ones. In short, we need to Live Like Andrew. For more information visit http://www.BePositive.orgFrom:livelikeandrewViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:32More inNonprofits Activism

For more information, log on to- shomusbiology.weebly.com Download the study materials here- shomusbiology.weebly.com There are between 800 and 900 extant or currently living species of Gymnosperms. It is widely accepted that the gymnosperms originated in the late Carboniferous period.[5] This appears to have been the result of a whole genome duplication event around 319 million years ago.[6] Early characteristics of seed plants were evident in fossil progymnosperms of the late Devonian period around 380 million years ago. It has been suggested that during the mid-Mesozoic era, pollination of some extinct groups of gymnosperms were by extinct species of scorpionflies that had specialized proboscis for feeding on pollination drops. The scorpionflies likely engaged in pollination mutualisms with gymnosperms, long before the similar and independent coevolution of nectar-feeding insects on angiosperms.[7][8] Conifers are by far the most abundant extant group of gymnosperms with six to eight families, with a total of 65-70 genera and 600-630 species (696 accepted names).[9] Conifers are woody plants and most are evergreens.[10] The leaves of many conifers are long, thin and needle-like, others species, including most Cupressaceae and some Podocarpaceae, have flat, triangular scale-like leaves. Agathis in Araucariaceae and Nageia in Podocarpaceae have broad, flat strap-shaped leaves. Cycads are the next most abundant group of gymnosperms, with about 130 species.

Research into Detection of De Novo Mutations and Fetal Trisomies
Learn more at http://www.lifetechnologies.com Identification of a single missense de novo mutation in ABCC9, a potassium channel which is causative of Cantu syndrome, a rare musculoskeletal/cardiac disorder. This discovery was made using trio exome sequencing on the SOLiD 5500 genetic analyzer. The discovery has led to greater understanding of the molecular etiology, and potential treatments for this syndrome. The talk also describes a fast whole genome sequencing analysis method to detect fetal trisomies non-invasively from maternal blood samples.From:LifeTechnologiesCorpViews:0 0ratingsTime:13:42More inScience Technology

CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Whole genome sequencing has revealed previously unreported mutations in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), according to a study published by the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics.

The study, "Genome and transcriptome sequencing in prospective triple negative breast cancer uncovers therapeutic vulnerabilities," was sponsored by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and US Oncology Research with support fromLife Technologies Corporation (LIFE) and is currently available online.

"The study underscores the potential clinical utility of genomic sequencing to improve cancer care," said Paul Billings, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer at Life Technologies. "Our hope is that in the not too distant future, sequencing will become available to many more patients and physicians."

In a sample of 14 tumors from ethnically diverse metastatic TNBC patients, the researchers found significant mutations and other changes in more than a dozen genes through whole-genome sequencing performed on Life Technologies' Applied Biosystems SOLiD 4.0 platform. The most frequently mutated gene among the tumors (seven of 14) was the TP53 tumor suppressor, and aberrations were observed in additional tumor suppressor genes including CTNNA1, which was detected in two of six African-American patients (who typically have more aggressive and treatment-resistant disease). Alterations were also seen in the ERBB4 gene, known to be involved in mammary-gland maturation during pregnancy and lactation, but not previously linked to metastatic TNBC.

The study included an "outlier analysis," which assessed expression patterns for each tumor when compared against the other tumors examined in the study. Specific cancer genes overexpressed among tumors in the study's cohort included: ALK, AR, ARAF, BRAF, FGFR2, GLI1, GLI2, HRAS, HSP90AA1, KRAS, MET, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and SHH. Significantly underexpressed cancer genes included: BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, CTNNA1, DKK1, FBXW7, NF1, PTEN, and SFN.

Each tumor was genomically unique, but nine of the 14 contained alterations in one or both of two particular cellular pathways: RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/MTOR.

"Genome sequencing will eventually become a standard tool for oncologists," said Billings, "allowing them to tailor therapies to the unique genetic profiles of each of their patients."

Metastatic TNBC is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that disproportionately affects African-Americans. It is called triple-negative because tumors do not express the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor or HER-2, the biomarkers successfully targeted in most breast cancers.

Metastatic TNBC also has a poor prognosis once the cancer has spread to other organs, with a median survival rate among metastatic patients of only one year. While TNBC accounts for only about 15 percent of all breast cancers, its more aggressive biology makes it responsible for nearly one in four deaths related to this disease.
