Spoonful of Medicine: Database to help doctors grasp disease risk of duplications the genome : Spoonful of Medicine
blogs.nature.com — “Copy number variations, in which a section of DNA is duplicated or deleted, have been a boon for geneticists hoping to explain the chromosomal causes of everything from autism to schizophrenia to colon cancer.

Spoonful of Medicine: Greater oversight needed for genomic tests, experts say : Spoonful of Medicine
blogs.nature.com — “With an eye to advancing ‘personalized medicine’, clinicians have tried to predict who will respond to certain therapies using biomarkers gleaned from tests that probe genomics, proteomics and other branches of biomedicine. But according to a report from the US Institute of Medicine (IOM), such ‘omics-based’ tests require greater regulatory oversight and more transparent data-sharing before they should be allowed to move from the lab to the clinic.

Action Potential: Fear of the Light : Action Potential
blogs.nature.com — “It is commonly believed that distinct mini-networks of neurons, firing together, may be the means by which memories and other conceptual encoding requirements are handled in the brain. However, it is only recently that we have had the tools available to directly test the sufficiency of such a mechanism. Today, a new study in Nature from the lab of Susumu Tonegawa documents the ability to use light as a means to activate distinct subsets of neurons responsible for the encoding of fear memories.
