The Killer Bug GENOMICS A Periodic Table of the Human Species? FORTUNE Sunday, October 27, 2002 By David Stipp DNA Adenine - Thymine Guanine - Cytosine The basic building blocks of human DNA may vary in telltale patterns linked to disease. For all our complexity, we humans are among the simplest animals when it comes to genetic variationchimpanzees, for instance, have genomes that vary more from individual to individual. The reason is history: It seems that all humans sprang from a small number of ancestors who emanated from Africa a mere 100,000 or so years ago. Other species have been around for millions of years, during which the genetic mixing of reproduction and other factors have thoroughly diced and spliced their DNA into more varied patterns. Our genetic simplicity has a big plus. Of the three billion chemical letters in human DNA, only a few million vary from one person to another. These variable letters, called SNPs (pronounced "snips"), account for most of the genetic differences between individuals, including varying susceptibility to disease. Checking millions of SNPs in the quest for variants associated with a specific disease is dauntingly costly and complex. But thanks to our limited genetic diversity, that isn't necessary.

FORTUNE Wednesday, May 15, 2002 By Donald D. Hensrud, M.D. In 1999, French scientists removed bone marrow from four boys suffering a deadly immune-system disorder, treated it with a genetically engineered virus, and returned the marrow to the boys' bodies. A report last month said the boys are living at home and growing normally. While the researchers refrained from calling their work a cure, their success is a good indication that we are getting a handle on how the tiny amount of nucleic acid in each of our cells can affect our health. Genetics is the study of inheritance patterns of specific traits (e.g., why someone has blue rather than brown eyes); genomics is the study of genes and their functions. The entire human genome is estimated to contain 30,000 to 60,000 distinct genes in 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each gene is composed of specific sequences of DNA. Just last year the Human Genome Project determined the DNA sequence of virtually the entire human genome, which means we now know the genetic code that makes up a human.

Careers in Genetic Modification Last February, the Human Genome Project published its final results. The molecular instructions folded into the DNA of every cell were decoded to reveal around 30,000 distinct genes. This achievement, which took well over a decade, was the biological equivalent of a moon landing. An enormous effort is now underway to figure out which part of the whole process each gene moderates in a living, breathing, growing body. What fits where and why, even in the simplest cell, is far from fully understood. However, it’s certain that dramatic growth in all branches of life sciences will occur as other species' genomes are unravelled alongside our own. What will these advances mean for people who just want to earn a living, honest or otherwise? Let's see...

They explain health disorders, the available options for testing for or treatments of these disorders, and the risks associated with these options. They also help patients come to terms with the emotional and psychological aspects of having an inherited disorder or disease Average Salaries: Certified genetic counselors receive an average entry-level salary of $35,000. Those with significant experience receive between $45,000 and $75,000. Prospects The field is expected to grow much faster than average into the next century. Scientific developments have created new opportunities for treatment and testing. These have in turn created an increased need for those who can help patients understand their options. Qualifications: Those interested must complete a two-year master's degree in genetic counseling. These studies typically include classes in counseling, clinical genetics, biochemistry, anatomy, and clinical medicine.

Introduction Genetics has become a high profile area in recent years with massive developments in the human, animal and plant areas. From the cloning of sheep and pigs to the experimentation with GM crops, the work of geneticists received much media coverage and the impact of this work will have on all our futures has become evident. What They Do Geneticists conduct research into the biochemical and physiological aspects of heredity and particularly the role of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They may specialise in areas such as :- Human geneticists - biological basis for human variation, including the causes and treatment of human genetic conditions. May be directly involved in patient care, including prenatal diagnosis for genetic diseases and genetic counselling. Biomedical Genetics - examination of normal and abnormal biochemistry caused by genetic factors which will include the diagnosis and treatment of biochemical genetic conditions.

Dr George Church has said that this is a distant threat, however, and that far more imminent is somatic genetic enhancement of living people. It involves adding genes to certain cells of the body, and could be used to improve appearance or intelligence, but would not be passed on to future generations.

College of Biological Sciences What Is? T he topic of genes, genetics and ethical issues that surround them have become quite popular in recent years. Geneticists are concerned with how traits are passed from generation to generation. What is the structure and the function of genes? How and why do certain genes play important roles in development, protein and enzyme synthesis? Which portions of genetic mutations are responsible for genetic diseases? These are some of the questions that occupy them. H owever the study is far from being a passive observation and collection of information. Scientists deliberately manipulate genes in order to produce disease resistant varieties of crops and animals. The study of genetics has been employed to confirm the parentage of children, identify birth defects, devise methods of treatment for genetic diseases, and trace the identities of criminals through hair or blood samples left on the scene. T he field has a fast developing trajectory in the area of genetic counseling, which combines genetics, psychology and social work to counsel people in the areas of pregnancies and other genetic defects and abnormalities.

MadSci Network : Chemistry Re: Could you tell me about careers involving chemistry? Area: Chemistry Posted By: Samuel Conway, Senior Staff Chemist, Avid Therapeutics,Philadelphia, PA Date: Sat Dec 7 12:33:01 1996 Message ID: 849817560.Ch The career options are almost endless! Chemists are needed in the pharmaceutical industry to discover and develop new drugs; in the food industry to develop and test new foodstufs and additives; in the petroleum industry, to develop and test new fuels; in the textiles industry, to develop new synthetic products such as plastics. The list goes on and on. If you become a chemist, your interest in botany might lead you to the field of medicinal chemistry, since there are many plants that have as-yet undiscovered medicinal properties. Or you may enter the field of agrochemistry, where you might help develop new fertilizers or pesticides for the agricultural industry (the need for environmentally safe agrochemicals is ongoing). You have some time yet, but eventually you will have to decide how far you wish to go in your education. You will absolutely need a college degree in science (BS). In general, that will get you a "bench" job, which means you would likely be in the laboratory doing the work, although someone else usually tells you what work to do. If you go on in school and obtain a master's degree, you will still be qualified for a bench- level position, although you might be given more responsibility in how the work is conducted, or what experiments to run. If you go further and obtain a doctorate (Ph.D.) you will most likely be able to get a job where you are in charge of the research, and will make the decisions as to what experiments are run or how.
