04-04-2012 13:48 Google Tech Talk March 27, 2012 ABSTRACT It is often said that genomics science is on a Moore's law, growing exponentially in data throughput, number of assembled genomes, lowered cost, etc.; and yet, it has not delivered the biomedical promises made a decade ago: personalized medicine; genomic characterization of diseases like cancer, schizophrenia, and autism; bio-markers for common complex diseases; prenatal genomic assays, etc. What share of blame for this failure ought to be allocated to computer science (or computational biology, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, etc.)? How can the computational biology community lead genomics science to rescue it from the current impasse? What are the computational solutions to these problems? What should be our vision of computational biology in the coming decade? We will discuss three systems: TotalReCaller, SUTTA-Assembler and Feature-Response-Curves, in this context.

19-04-2012 07:40 Human Genome's 'Blockbuster' Drug Benlystal Potential Undervalued in Bid by GSK vs HGSI BREAKING NEWS! Human Genome Rejects $2.6B Bid From GlaxoSmithKline (Update 1). The stock is currently trading at $14.50 up over 100% on a "MASSIVE SHORT SQUEEZE"! (SMF is long several long term calls on HGSI) Pre-Market Volume Alert! HGSI Buyout by GSK Rejected shares up 100%. Massive Short Squeeze Alert was given on HGSI on 1 Human Genome Sciences closed near $7 yesterday, but GlaxoSmithKline stunned investors with a $13-per share takeover offer! HGSI is doubling in the premarket, and is well above that bid price. Shares of Human Genome (HGSI) are rallying 109% in pre-market trading to $15.00 after the company disclosed that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) made a $13.00 per share offer to acquire the company. Human Genone said the offer "does not reflect the value inherent in HGS" and hired Goldman Sachs as well as Credit Suisse to explore of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale.

But we bring love to the game...that is our essence our participation and our ultimate goal.." Stuart Mitchell The Human Genome - Chromosome 1 - Real-time 3000 NPM The first 60000 base pairs of Chromosome 1 - Homo sapien translated into sound and frequency at 3000 nucleotides per minute Beats per minute. "There is no difference between your breathing and the breathing of the rain forest, between your bloodstream and the world's rivers, between your bones and the cliffs of Dover. Every shift in ecosystem has affected you at the level of your genes. The Universe remembers its evolution by leaving a record written in DNA. This means that your genes are the focal point for everything happening in the world. They are your line of communication with nature as a whole. The Universe thinks and works through you...''- Deepak Chopra The word chromosome comes from the Greek ????? (chroma, colour) and ???? (soma, body) due to their property of being very strongly stained by particular dyes. All the proceeds from the Human Genome Music is going toward the health and beauty of humanity. We are donating all proceeds to children's causes all over the planet, so that the Human Genome Sequence does 'not' just become a string of data. But takes care of the generations to come, that will depend upon our artistic, caring and scientific discoveries to benefit ...

02-07-2012 14:31 For decades MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, has been afflicting hospital patients and prison inmates with life-threatening and difficult-to-treat skin infections. In recent years this bacteria has emerged in the general population. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is now causing 19000 human deaths in the United States per year—more even than HIV. A recent study of the pathogen by researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, reveals how changes in the bacteria's genome can affect its ability to attack its host.

26-07-2012 14:13 Dr. Carlos Bustamante is a professor of genetics at Stanford University. His research focuses on analyzing genome wide patterns of variation within and between species to address fundamental questions in biology, anthropology, and medicine. His research group works on a variety of organisms and model systems ranging from humans and other primates to domesticated plant and animals. Much of his research is at the interface of computational biology, mathematical genetics, and evolutionary genomics.
