     Extractions: DOE supports both human and microbial genome research. The Human Genome Program was initiated by DOE in 1986 to map and determine the complete DNA sequence of the human genome. The principal goal of this international program is to determine a representative human DNA sequence of all 3 billion base pairs in the human genome. The U.S. Human Genome Project is jointly managed by DOE and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) In October 1998, Science magazine published the new DOE and NIH plan, New Goals for the U.S. Human Genome Project: 1998-2003 , in which human DNA sequencing is the major emphasis. An ambitious schedule has been set to complete the full sequence by the end of 2003, two years ahead of previous projections. In the course of completing the sequence, a "working draft" of the human sequence will be produced by the end of 2001. The plan also includes goals for sequencing technology development; for studying human genome sequence variation; for developing technology for functional genomics; for completing the sequence of Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster and starting the mouse genome; for studying the ethical, legal, and social implications of genome research; for bioinformatics and computational studies; and for training of genome scientists.

109. The Human Genome - The GEEE! In GENOME
     Your genome contains all the information needed to create you, and to determine how your cells function throughout your whole life.

     Extractions: The human genome is like a blueprint for creating humans. Your genome contains all the information needed to create you, and to determine how your cells function throughout your whole life. Every one of your body cells, whether a heart cell, muscle cell, or nerve cell, contains a copy of your genome. Parents even pass on part of their genome to their children. What is a genome and why is it so important? The human genome How big is the human genome? Genomics research Our genome is involved in every aspect of our behaviour and bodily processes - seeing, breathing, digesting, walking, talking, sleeping, even thinking. Anatomical drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci, 1507. The genome is necessary, but by itself is not enough to determine everything about us. Our surroundings, including physical, nutritional, social and cultural environments, also influence how we act or even how we look. Each individual human has a slightly different version of the human genome. But we differ by only less than one-hundredth of one percent.

     Extractions: What is a genome ? What is the DNA sequence ? Why sequence DNA ? How is DNA sequenced ? ... Questions list Cells of living organisms contain a program of instructions (the genome), which enables them to stay alive and reproduce. The instructions of this program (the genes) are coded in chemical form along giant molecules, the DNA molecules which form the chromosomes. The genome corresponds to the totality of genes of an organism, i.e. all the DNA or all the chromosomes. Questions list The instructions contained in the DNA are coded in a chemical alphabet composed of 4 characters, the nucleotides (or bases), which are symbolized by the letters A, T, G and C. The molecules of DNA consist of a sequence of millions of these elementary characters, like a necklace in which each pearl can be one of 4 possible colors. The order of bases in each sequence is the way that biological information is stored, analogous to the storage of information in a computer as a succession of magnetic bytes. In other words, DNA is the chemical memory of living organisms . The illustration below illustrates the analogy between two sequences of equal length (a succession of the letters A, T, G and C) and necklaces composed of 4 different colors of pearls. The order of bases (or pearls) is different in these two sequences (or necklaces); therefore they contain different information.

     Extractions: Sensational Human Genome Discovery THE CASE OF ADAM’S ALIEN GENES In whose image was The Adam – the prototype of modern humans, Homo sapiens – created? The Bible asserts that the Elohim said: “Let us fashion the Adam in our image and after our likeness.” But if one is to accept a tentative explanation for enigmatic genes that humans possess, offered when the deciphering of the human genome was announced in mid-February, the feat was decided upon by a group of bacteria! “Humbling” was the prevalent adjective used by the scientific teams and the media to describe the principal finding – that the human genome contains not the anticipated 100,000 - 140,000 genes (the stretches of DNA that direct the production of amino-acids and proteins) but only some 30,000+ little more than double the 13,601 genes of a fruit fly and barely fifty percent more than the roundworm’s 19,098. What a comedown from the pinnacle of the genomic Tree of Life! Moreover, there was hardly any uniqueness to the human genes. They are comparative to not the presumed 95 percent but to almost 99 percent of the chimpanzees, and 70 percent of the mouse. Human genes, with the same functions, were found to be identical to genes of other vertebrates, as well as invertebrates, plants, fungi, even yeast. The findings not only confirmed that there was one source of DNA for all life on Earth, but also enabled the scientists to trace the evolutionary process – how more complex organisms evolved, genetically, from simpler ones, adopting at each stage the genes of a lower life form to create a more complex higher life form – culminating with Homo sapiens.

     Extractions: Bio-databases.com, Amita Corporation, 1420 Blair Place, Suite 500, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1J 9L8 info@bio-databases.com Abstract The Human Genome Initiative is an international research program for the creation of detailed genetic and physical maps of the human genome. Genome research projects generate enormous quantities of data. Database mining is the process of finding and extracting useful information from raw datasets. Computational genomics has identified a classification of three successive levels for the management and analysis of genetic data in scientific databases: Genomics. Proteomics. Genome database mining is the identification of the protein-encoding regions of a genome and the assignment of functions to these genes on the basis of sequence similarity homologies against other genes of known function. Gene expression database mining is the identification of intrinsic patterns and relationships in transcriptional expression data generated by large-scale gene expression experiments. Proteome database mining is the identification of intrinsic patterns and relationships in translational expression data generated by large-scale proteomics experiments. Improvements in genome, gene expression and proteome database mining algorithms will enable the prediction of protein function in the context of higher order processes such as the regulation of gene expression, metabolic pathways and signalling cascades. Thus, the final objective of such higher-level functional analysis will be the elucidation of high-resolution structural and functional maps of the human genome.

We are able to produce our own protein and antibody drugs for preclinical studies and clinical trials. We are in the final construction phase of a large-scale manufacturing facility to increase our capacity for protein and antibody drug production. We are strengthening our commercial operations staff, and our intent is to add marketing and sales staff as needed as our products approach commercialization. IMMUNOLOGY/INFECTIOUS DISEASE Click here for more information on LymphoStat-B CCR5 mAb CCR5 mAb is a fully human monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes and binds the chemokine receptor CCR5. The CCR5 receptor is known to be a key facilitator of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Preclinical studies of CCR5 mAb show that it prevents CCR5-dependent HIV-1 entry into human cells, cell-cell fusion and viral transmission. Human Genome Sciences has begun dosing patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacology of CCR5 mAb in patients who are infected with HIV-1 and are not receiving concurrent antiretroviral therapy.
