AACR Annual Meeting 2013AACR news: Misregulated genes common to tobacco-related cancers offer potential new prognostic tool "We ultimately envision this as a prognostic tool to predict survival rates for people with tobacco-related cancers. Recognizing patients with high expression of these genes could help us predict risk and so match patients with the most appropriate treatments," says a researcher. Contact: Garth Sundem

Penn Medicine's new center for personalized diagnostics unlocks cancer's secrets Penn Medicine's new Center for Personalized Diagnostics, a joint initiative of the department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center, is diving deeper into each patient's tumor with next generation DNA sequencing. These specialized tests can refine patient diagnoses with greater precision than standard imaging tests and blood work, all with an aim to broaden treatment options and improve their efficacy.

Nature GeneticsAn international study identifies new DNA variants that increase the risk for cancer The European Collaborative Oncological Gen-Environmental Study project, whose main goal is to decipher the complex genetic bases of breast, prostate and ovarian cancers, publishes today a total of 12 research articles in several prestigious journals, including Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, The American Journal of Human Genetics and PLOS Genetics. Using mass sequencing techniques, the study has identified up to 80 new regions of the genome associated with an increased susceptibility to developing breast, prostate and ovarian cancers.

GigaScienceSquished bug genomics: Insect goo aids biodiversity research GigaScience (a BGI and BioMed Central open access journal) announces the publication of an article that presents a new method for assessing and understanding biodiversity that uses a DNA-soup made from crushed-up insects and next generation sequencing technology. This bulk-collected insect goo has the potential to rapidly, accurately, and, quantitatively, reveal the diversity and make-up of both known and unknown species collected in a particular time and place.

Journal of the American Chemical SocietyEnzymes allow DNA to swap information with exotic molecules John Chaput, a researcher at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute has been hunting for a biological Rosetta Stone -- an enzyme allowing DNA's 4-letter language to be written into a simpler (and potentially more ancient) molecule that may have existed as a genetic pathway to DNA and RNA in the prebiotic world.

PLOS ONENovel insights into the evolution of protein networks System-wide networks of proteins are indispensable for organisms. Function and evolution of these networks are among the most fascinating research questions in biology. Bioinformatician Thomas Rattei, University of Vienna, and physicist Hernan Makse, City University New York, have reconstructed ancestral protein networks. The results are of high interest not only for evolutionary research but also for the interpretation of genome sequence data. Contact: Thomas Rattei

Nature MethodsGenomic data are growing, but what do we really know? "We live in the post-genomic era, when DNA sequence data is growing exponentially", says Miami University (Ohio) computational biologist Iddo Friedberg. "But for most of the genes that we identify, we have no idea of their biological functions." Friedberg and his colleagues organized the Critical Assessment of protein Function Annotation, or CAFA, a community-wide experiment to assess the performance of the many methods used today to predict the functions of proteins, reported in Nature Methods.

PLOS ONEUniversity of Maryland School of Medicine discovers adaptations to explain strategies for survival on Mars University of Maryland School of Medicine research has revealed key features in proteins needed for life to function on Mars and other extreme environments. NASA-funded scientists studied organisms that survive in the extreme conditions of Antarctica. They found differences between the core proteins in ordinary organisms and Haloarchaea, organisms that tolerate severe conditions such as high salinity, desiccation, and extreme temperatures. The research provides a window into how life could adapt to exist on Mars.

BioScienceSome biologists shun new media An online survey of neuroscientists in Germany and the United States found that, although in both countries researchers believe "new media" such as blogs and online social networks are important in influencing public opinion and political decisions, the researchers make little use of new media themselves.
