Bioethicists Call For Heightened Oversight of Genetic Ancestry Testing
Published July 2, 2009, 12:02 pm, GenomeWeb News
A team of bioethics and anthropology researchers from Stanford University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Texas at Austin, New York University, and the University of Wisconsin argued that a sound public policy should be developed around existing genetic ancestry testing recommendations — such as those issued by the American Society for Human Genetics at its annual ...
Tougher controls sought for DNA ancestry testing

Regulation would set 'gold standard' in direct-to-consumer genetic tests for genealogy and medical use.
Bioethicists call for federal regulation of genetic ancestry testing
Published July 2, 2009, 11:33 am, PhysOrg
(PhysOrg.com) -- As the popularity of take-home DNA kits to trace ancestry or calculate the risk for serious medical conditions grows, there is an increasingly critical need for federal oversight of "direct-to consumer" genetic testing, as well as of the use of DNA samples for research, according to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and several other academic institutions.
Anti-biotech groups obstruct forest biotechnology
Published June 30, 2009, 11:03 am, PhysOrg
The potential of forest biotechnology to help address significant social and environmental issues is being "strangled at birth" by the rigid opposition of some groups and regulations that effectively preclude even the testing of genetically modified trees, scientists argue in a new report.
Flies avoid a plant's poison using a newly identified taste mechanism
Published June 30, 2009, 5:33 am, PhysOrg
Many plants protect themselves from hungry animals by producing toxic chemicals. In turn, animals rely on detecting the presence of these harmful chemicals to avoid consuming dangerous plant material. A paper, published in this week's issue of PLoS Biology, investigates the response of an insect to a common plant weapon - the toxin L-canavanine.
