Psychological MedicineBullying by childhood peers leaves a trace that can change the expression of a gene linked to mood A recent study by a researcher at the Centre for Studies on Human Stress at the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine and professor at the Université de Montréal suggests that bullying by peers changes the structure surrounding a gene involved in regulating mood, making victims more vulnerable to mental health problems as they age.

Nature BiotechnologyToward a new model of the cell Turning vast amounts of genomic data into meaningful information about the cell is the great challenge of bioinformatics, with major implications for human biology and medicine. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues have proposed a new method that creates a computational model of the cell from large networks of gene and protein interactions, discovering how genes and proteins connect to form higher-level cellular machinery.

New MRI technology to provide even better images of the inside of the human body Over the past 30 years, magnetic resonance imaging has evolved into one of the most important imaging procedures in medical diagnostics. With a new approach based on the use of polarized gases and dissolved substances, in the future it will be possible to produce even better quality images of the inside of the human body.

American Journal of Human GeneticsNobody's perfect For the first time, researchers have measured how many damaging genetic variants each of us has and on average, we carry around 400 potentially damaging variants and two variants known to be associated with a disease. The authors raise the increasingly important ethical issues for medical geneticists, including should incidental findings (those not a specific goal of research or of a test, but uncovered during a study) be fed back to people who have volunteered their sample to a study?

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesCrucial step in AIDS virus maturation simulated for first time Bioinformaticians at IMIM and UPF have used molecular simulation techniques to explain a specific step in the maturation of the HIV virions, i.e., how newly formed inert virus particles become infectious, which is essential in understanding how the virus replicates. These results, which have been published in the latest edition of PNAS, could be crucial to the design of future antiretrovirals. Contact: Marta Calsina

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesMalaria parasite's masquerade ball could be coming to an end More than a million people die each year of malaria caused by different strains of the Plasmodium parasite transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito. By figuring out how the most dangerous strain evades the watchful eye of the immune system, researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have now paved the way for the development of new approaches to cure this acute infection.

NatureTiny algae shed light on photosynthesis as a dynamic property Many of the world's most important photosynthetic eukaryotes such as plants got their light-harnessing organelles (chloroplasts) indirectly from other organisms through endosymbiosis. In some instances, this resulted in algae with multiple, distinct genomes, some in residual organelles (nucleomorphs). To better understand why nucleomorphs persist after endosymbiosis, an international team including researchers at the DOE Joint Genome Institute collaborated to sequence and analyze two tiny algae. Their report appeared online Nov. 29, 2012 in Nature. Contact: David Gilbert

Human Molecular GeneticsResearchers find chemical 'switches' for neurodegenerative diseases By using a model, researchers at the University of Montreal have identified and "switched off" a chemical chain that causes neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and dementia. The findings could one day be of particular therapeutic benefit to Huntington's disease patients. Contact: William Raillant-Clark

An international competition reaffirms the potential of bioinformatics in the diagnosis of disease The biosciences are generating enormous amounts of data at unprecedented speeds. Making sense of these data and extracting reliable information from databases is an increasingly difficult and complex task. Backed by the scientific community, IBM Research and PMI R&D launched IMPROVER (Industrial Methodology for PROcess VErification in Research) with the aim of challenging the world's best computational researchers to demonstrate the power of their methods to exploit genomic information to extract predictive and clinical indicators that are reliable and verifiable.
