Yeast behind velvety stout may have Silk Road origins

There is nothing more Irish than the pint of plain but a DNA analysis of the yeast used to brew stout shows its origins are actually in India.

The same study also showed that yeast used to brew the perfect lager can also be pressed into service to produce excellent stout.

A research effort to build a comprehensive family tree of yeasts is under way, involving researchers from Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin.

It even sampled naturally occurring yeasts in the wild.

There are two main groups of yeasts used to brew lager, and the researchers found that one of them shares DNA with the yeasts used to make stout.

But this DNA is also shared by a yeast strain used to brew Toddy, a speciality from southern India.

The research had uncovered new links between stout, ale and lager yeasts, said Prof Ursula Bond, associate professor in microbiology at Trinity.

The shared links joining stout, lager and Toddy yeasts also hinted at a colonial exchange of yeast strains between India and these islands some time in the past, she added.

There seems to be a link there. We are sequencing the genomes to see.

Britain first to allow babies with 3 genetic parents

Britain has became the first country in the world to allow babies to be created with the DNA of three parents. The House of Lords voted Tuesday to approve the use of a groundbreaking and controversial in-vitro fertilization technique known as three-parent IVF. That followed a similar vote in the House of Commons earlier this month.

The technique would likely only be used in about a dozen cases a year in the U.K. involving women with faulty mitochondria, the energy-producing structures outside a cell's nucleus. The genetic flaw can cause devastating inherited conditions in a woman's offspring including muscular dystrophy, mental retardation, and problems affecting the baby's heart and other vital organs.

To prevent that, scientists remove the nucleus DNA from the mother's egg and insert it into a donor egg from which the nucleus DNA has been removed. The resulting embryo would end up with the nucleus DNA from its parents but the mitochondrial DNA from the donor.

The British government published rules in December limiting use of the technique to cases of preventing genetic disorders. The U.K.'s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sally Davies, supported legalization "to give women who carry severe mitochondrial disease the opportunity to have children without passing on devastating genetic disorders."

Scientists say the DNA from the donor egg amounts to just a tiny fraction of the resulting embryo's genes, but that didn't ease the concerns of opponents, including the Church of England, who tried to stop a practice they considered "playing God."

"It would be hard to imagine a more controversial or passionate debate," CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reported before the lower house of Parliament voted to approve it Feb. 3. "There was a lot of loaded language in this ... 'designer babies,' 'playing God,' 'three-parent babies.'"

Marcy Darnovsky, director of the campaign group the Center for Genetics and Society, called Tuesday's decision a "historic mistake" that will "introduce genetic changes that will be passed down to future generations," Reuters reported.

But supporters welcomed the new option for couples who want children despite the medical odds. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust medical charity, said in a statement, "Families who know what it is like to care for a child with a devastating disease are best placed to decide whether mitochondrial donation is the right option for them."

Three-parent IVF is not approved in the United States, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is looking into it. The FDA held a meeting to discuss the technique last year and scientists warned it could take decades to determine its long-term safety.

Do genes play a role in peanut allergies? New study suggests yes

Posted: at 12:43 am

Researchers have pinpointed a region in the human genome associated with peanut allergy in U.S. children, offering strong evidence that genes can play a role in the development of food allergies.

But in an additional finding that suggests genes are not the only players in food allergies, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health-led research team found there may be other molecular mechanisms that may contribute to whether those who are genetically predisposed to peanut allergies actually develop them.

The findings are published online Feb. 24 in the journal Nature Communications.

"We always suspected it, but this is the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) that identified a genetic link to well-defined peanut allergy," says the study's principal investigator, Xiaobin Wang, MD, ScD, MPH, the Zanvyl Krieger Professor and director of the Center on the Early Life Origins of Disease at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Food allergies have been rising rapidly around the world over the past 20 years and now affect an estimated 2 to 10 percent of children in the United States. Food allergies have become a major clinical and public health problem due to their increasing prevalence, their potential to be life-threatening and their enormous medical and economic impact. Peanut allergy is among the most fatal food allergies and is often a lifelong allergy, unlike the milk or egg allergies that most children will grow out of.

There is currently no effective prevention or treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, except for emergency treatment given after accidental exposure. The only effective prevention strategy is to avoid the food that triggers a reaction. This can be a challenging task given the three most common allergies in American children are to peanuts, eggs and milk, items that are widely found in processed foods.

In their study, Wang and her colleagues analyzed DNA samples from 2,759 participants (1,315 children and 1,444 of their biological parents) enrolled in the Chicago Food Allergy Study. Most of the children had some kind of food allergy. They scanned approximately 1 million genetic markers across the human genome, searching for clues to which genes might contribute to increased risk of developing food allergies, including peanut. They found that a genomic region harboring genes such as HLA-DB and HLA-DR and located on chromosome six is linked to peanut allergy. This study suggests that the HLA-DR and -DQ gene region probably poses significant genetic risk for peanut allergy as it accounted for about 20 percent of peanut allergy in the study population.

Not everyone with these mutations, however, develops peanut allergy, and researchers wondered why. One possible reason, they determined, was that epigenetic changes may also play a role. Epigenetic changes, in which a methyl group attaches itself to the DNA, alter the expression of a gene without altering its underlying code. The levels of DNA methylation regulate whether people with genetic susceptibility to the peanut allergy actually developed it.

While the study represents a "good first step," more research is needed. For example, a better understanding of genetic susceptibility will allow for early risk assessment and prediction of food allergies, perhaps as early as in utero, Wang says.

Unlike genes themselves, DNA methylation levels can change in response to environmental exposures (in particular, in-utero and during the first few years of life), and the changes are potentially reversible. By identifying what environmental factors can alter DNA methylation levels in people with genes that make them susceptible to peanut allergy, researchers could potentially open a new avenue for prevention and treatment of peanut allergy.
