White Supremacists Are Using Genetic Ancestry Tests For A Creepy Purpose – HuffPost

Its a marketing trope often repeated in viral,feel-good commercials for genetic ancestry tests: If we only knew just how related we all were, even distantly, then prejudice and racism would cease to exist.

But new research at the University of California, Los Angeles, finds the opposite: White supremacists do not especially care what their genetic ancestry tests show, if they reveal anything that doesnt conform with their claimed white heritage. At the same time, these genetic tests may actually be exciting to white supremacists because it gives them a scientific argument for the diversity of the European race, which helps them appropriate the language of diversity and multiculturalism for hateful purposes.

The findings, presented at the American Sociological Association this week and to be published in a forthcoming journal article, are a sober reminder that it takes a lot more than genetic proof of multiethnic ancestry to dissuade hard-core racists from their hateful ideology. In fact, the tests may bolster some of their beliefs.

We cant rely on genetic information to turn white nationalists away from their views, researcher Aaron Panofsky wrote in an email to HuffPost. I saw a tweet that said we should crowdfund [genetic ancestry tests] for these guys and that would end the movement. I think that is completely wrong and the genetics cant save us.

In a video posted on the Ancestry.com YouTube page, one participant says, There would be no such thing as, like, extremism in the world if people knew their heritage like that.

Genetic ancestry tests require people to spit into tubes and send the saliva samples to a lab for analysis. A few weeks later, they are directed to a website that reveals their genetic heritage. All genetic ancestry companies compare a persons genome with a proprietary database of reference populations, and show percentages of DNA defined racially, ethnically, continentally, or by modern nation-states. So, a person may be 87 percent East Asian in one companys test, but 67 percent Chinese in another companys test. The services also analyze mitochondrial DNA passed down from the mother and father to assess how ancestors may have migrated over time.

For genealogy hobbyists, its a good way to search for long-lost relatives to complete the family tree. Recent news articles, however, have highlighted a dark side of these tests, as they can also reveal long-hidden genetic secrets, like true paternity or the fact that babies may have been switched at birth.

While genetic ancestry tests have the veneer of scientific accuracy, they have come under attack by scientists. As Panofsky and Donovan put it in their forthcoming paper, the tests trade on the authority of science but do not adhere to scientific standards of openness and accountability. Further, there are no industry standards or uniformity. Each company has their own trademarked panel of population samples, algorithms and DNA markers, and consumers may get different or even conflicting results from company to company. And this confusion doesnt even get into the messiness of the history of human civilization: What would 75 percent Spanish mean with the nation-state of Spains history of invasions, wars and immigration patterns?

To examine how white supremacists use these tests, Panofsky and co-author Joan Donovan scoured the discussion boards of Stormfront, the oldest online forum for white supremacists, and identified 153 people who had posted the results of their genetic ancestry tests for comment.

Fifty-three of the people who posted were happy about good news that confirmed their European heritage, 49 posted their results because they were confused or disappointed, and 51 posted results without comment, although other forum members were free to discuss them.

Panofskys first observation was that, despite the promises of those sappy viral videos, not a single person renounced their hateful beliefs in reaction to their test results. He also was surprised that Stormfront members were willing to post their bad news results, even though the rules of membership are that people must have all-white, non-Jewish ancestry.

For some white supremacists who found links to Jewish or other non-European people groups, feedback from the forum ranged from never breed, to more gentle assurances that as long as they didnt see Jew when they looked in the mirror, they could claim whiteness.

Finally, Panofsky observed that members were having in-depth discussions in an attempt to explain away undesirable ancestry by suggesting the test itself was either invalid (a Jewish conspiracy to confuse white people, for example) or the tests methodology and statistical analysis were flawed.

They have very sophisticated interpretations that are based on statistical, genetic, and historical reasoning, Panofsky said. The conclusions and interpretations they make are often not the ones professional geneticists, biological anthropologists, and historians would make, but these interpretations are not ignorant or uneducated.

Perhaps most disturbing, some white supremacists are taking news of their heritage from multiple European countries and using it to create a pallete of diversity that doesnt include people of color.

A persons test might come back 30 percent English, 20 percent Danish, 40 percent German, etc., and this looks like great diversity within Europeans without people of color being involved, Panofsky explained. Already some white nationalists portray white people as the true people of color (red hair, blond, brown, and black hair; blue, green, and brown eyes; pale to olive skin etc.), while seeing non-whites as all the same.

Regardless of how white supremacists see it, the historical definition ofwhiteness is a socially constructed, ever-shifting categorization. In the 19th century, superior whites were of Saxon stock, and didnt include the Irish, Italian or Eastern European Jews. Over time, some of these groups gained entry into whiteness,while others didnt.

Now, it appears that genetic ancestry tests complicate whiteness even further and not in the way that genetic ancestry testing companies anticipated.

America does not do a good job of tracking incidents of hate and bias. We need your help to create a database of such incidents across the country, so we all know whats going on. Tell us your story.

Seattle Genetics’ Adcetris Granted Priority Review by FDA – Nasdaq

Seattle Genetics, Inc. SGEN announced that the FDA has accepted its supplemental Biologics License Application (BLA) for Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Additionally, the FDA granted Priority Review for the application and has set a target action date of Dec 16, 2017.

Adcetris is the only marketed product at Seattle Genetics. The drug is approved for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma and relapsed systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL) in the U.S., the EU and Japan. It is also approved in the U.S. for the treatment of patients suffering from classical Hodgkin lymphoma, who are at high risk of relapse or progression as post-autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) consolidation.

Notably, shares of the company have declined 11.4% against the Zacks classified industry's gain of 7.4% on a year-to-date basis.

The submission of the supplemental BLA was mainly based on positive data from the phase III trial, ALCANZA and two phase II investigator-sponsored trials in patients with CTCL. Interestingly, the ALCANZA study achieved both the primary and secondary endpoints.

The study showed that CTCL patients treated with Adcetris had superior outcomes across all primary and secondary endpoints compared with patients in the control arm, who were treated with either methotrexate or bexarotene standard of care agents.

Furthermore, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to Adcetris for the treatment of patients with CD30-expressing mycosis fungoides and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, who require systemic therapy and have received one prior systemic therapy in November 2016.

Adcetris, generated revenues of $74.3 million, up 12.3% year over year in the second quarter of 2017 and is expected to generate sale in the range of $290 million to $310 million in the U.S. and Canada in 2017. Seattle Genetics is also working on expanding the drug's label which will be a further boost for the company's revenues.

Fluidigm Licenses CFTR Next-Generation Sequencing Assay From Baylor Genetics for Use With the Juno System – GlobeNewswire (press release)

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluidigm Corporation (NASDAQ:FLDM) and Baylor Genetics today announced that they have entered into a licensing agreement to offer a next-generation sequencing (NGS) library prep assay that enables efficient sequencing of the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene.

Under the agreement, Fluidigm obtains the rights to commercialize the CFTR library prep assay developed by Baylor Genetics for research use with the Juno automated microfluidic system. The targeted NGS library prep assay enables accurate identification of variants from each of the 27 exons in the CFTR gene and selected intronic regions. When combined with Fluidigm microfluidics, this solution has the potential to significantly simplify complex labor-intensive laboratory workflows and improve the efficiency of CFTR sequencing.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a complex multisystem disease that is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and affects over 70,000 individuals worldwide. Over 2,000 variants have been identified within the CFTR gene. The detection frequency of these variants has been shown to vary by ancestry. Traditional genotyping methods typically focus on a subset of these variants and are limited in their ability to identify less common and new CFTR variants across large, diverse populations.

Next-generation sequencing offers a more comprehensive approach to CFTR genetic analysis by allowing a more complete view of the sequence. Targeted sequencing library prep workflows, however, can be very labor-intensive. With the application of Fluidigm automated microfluidics technology, NGS library preparation can be streamlined to provide significant efficiencies.

The combination of a rapid, accurate library prep workflow, followed by NGS, has allowed us to create a streamlined, cost-effective approach for CFTR sequencing. We realized the benefit of the microfluidic technology, and our agreement with Fluidigm has allowed us to move forward quickly.

Researchers Use Genetics and Electromagnetism to Control the Movements of Mice – Futurism

In BriefResearchers have established a new method of controlling the movements of mice in an attempt to better understand the workings of the brain. Genetic engineered mouse brains respond to temperature and electric current with the flick of a switch. This research could help people with mental health issues.

A team of researchers at the University of Buffalo has used magneto-thermal stimulation to control the movements of mice.

These results were achieved working with mice that had been genetically engineered such that targeted neurons would produce ion channels sensitive and even receptive to temperature. Nanoparticles consisting of a cobalt-ferrite core coated in manganese ferrite were injected into the brain, attaching themselves to neurons.

Applying an alternating magnetospherecauses the magnetization of these nanoparticles to switch back and forth, raising their temperature. As a result, the ion channels open up, causing the associated neurons to fire.

This research isnt really about bossing mice around its about linking specific parts of the brain to the movements and behaviors they control. Understanding how the brain works in this respect could help develop treatments for conditions that affect particular groups of neurons, including Parkinsons disease, dystonia, and traumatic brain injuries.

There is a lot of work being done now to map the neuronal circuits that control behavior and emotions, said Professor of Physics Arnd Pralle, the lead researcher. The technique we have developed could aid this effort greatly.

Techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation already allow us to tinker with the brain, and research has shown that Optogenetics can be used to make major changes to the behavior of mice in a lab setting. However, magneto-thermal stimulation is considered less invasive than these other methods. No evidence of brain damage was found in the mice used during testing.

The researchers hope to expand their studies by figuring out how to stimulate multiple parts of the brain at the same time.

Microbial Biotechnology

Microorganisms have been exploited for their specific biochemical and physiological properties from the earliest times for baking, brewing, and food preservation and more recently for producingantibiotics, solvents, amino acids, feed supplements, and chemical feedstuffs. Over time, there has been continuous selection by scientists of special strains ofmicroorganisms, based on their efficiency to perform a desired function. Progress, however, has been slow, often difficult to explain, and hard to repeat. Recent developments inmolecular biologyand genetic engineering could provide novel solutions to long-standing problems. Over the past decade, scientists have developed the techniques to move a gene from one organism to another, based on discoveries of how cells store, duplicate, and transfer genetic information.

Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology

One kind of biotechnology is gene technology, sometimes called 'genetic engineering' or'genetic modification', where the genetic material of living things is deliberately altered to enhance or remove a particular trait and allow the organism to perform new functions. Genes within a species can be modified, or genes can be moved from one species to another. Genetic engineering has applications inmedicine, research, agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms. It resulted in a series of medical products. The first two commercially prepared products fromrecombinant DNA technologywere insulin andhuman growth hormone, both of which were cultured in the E. coli bacteria.

The field of molecular biology overlaps with biology and chemistry and in particular, genetics and biochemistry. A key area of molecular biology concerns understanding how various cellular systems interact in terms of the way DNA, RNA and protein synthesis function.

Biotechnology Capital & Grants

Every new business needs some startup capital, for research, product development and production, permits and licensing and other overhead costs, in addition to what is needed to pay your staff, if you have any. Biotechnology products arise from successfulbiotechcompanies. These companies are built by talented individuals in possession of a scientific breakthrough that is translated into a product or service idea, which is ultimately brought into commercialization. At the heart of this effort is the biotech entrepreneur, who forms the company with a vision they believe will benefit the lives and health of countless individuals. Entrepreneurs start biotechnology companies for various reasons, but creatingrevolutionary productsand tools that impact the lives of potentially millions of people is one of the fundamental reasons why all entrepreneurs start biotechnology companies.

The genetics of heart disease: An update – Harvard Health

Recent discoveries hold the promise of better detection and treatment of coronary artery disease.

Published: September, 2017

Image: Wavebreakmedia Ltd/Thinkstock

Coronary artery disease the buildup of cholesterol-laden plaque in the heart's arteries is by far the most prevalent life-threatening heart condition. Despite many important discoveries, the genetic influence on this complex condition remains far from clear. But research continues to provide clues that may soon improve both the prediction and the treatment of this common disease beyond current testing of risk factors.

Many different types of heart disease can be passed down through families. Some are caused by just one or a few genetic changes that have a very strong effect in causing disease. Known as monogenic conditions, they include uncommon disorders that mostly affect the heart's muscle (such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) or electrical system (such as long QT syndrome). Another example is familial hypercholesterolemia, which causes very high cholesterol levels and may lead to premature coronary artery disease (occurring before age 50).

Myriad Genetics (MYGN) Grows on Higher Cancer Test Volumes – Nasdaq

On Aug 11, we issued an updated research report on Salt Lake City, UT-based molecular diagnostics provider, Myriad Genetics, Inc. MYGN . The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

For the past three months, Myriad has been trading above the broader industry . The company has rallied 24.7%, compared with the industry's 3.7% gain.

Myriad ended fiscal 2017 on a solid note, with its fourth-quarter numbers exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company particularly observed strong growth in EndoPredict and GeneSight testing revenues. Also, Myriad witnessed a third consecutive quarter of rise in hereditary cancer volumes. Also, it received provincial reimbursement in Quebec for EndoPredict.

Notably, at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) meeting held in June in Spain, Crescendo Bioscience, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad, released new data from a meta-analysis of clinical studies. The data has demonstrated the Vectra DA test's ability to predict a joint damage.

The same month, the company announced that its BRACAnalysis CDxcompanion diagnostic test has successfully identified BRCA -mutated patients with HER2- metastatic breast cancer in the OlympiAD trial, who have responded to treatment with olaparib better than standard chemotherapy.

Myriad's collaborations with AstraZeneca and BeiGene for development of companion diagnostics also raise optimism. Moreover, Myriad continues to make progress with its kit-based versions of Prolaris and myPath Melanoma in the international market and expects to file for CE Mark for Prolaris by 2018.

Moreover, the company has introduced its 'Elevate 2020' program that targets to achieve $50 million of incremental operating income by fiscal 2020. Per management, the company has selected the projects that are anticipated to deliver $17 million of operating income in fiscal 2018 and another $24 million in fiscal 2019.

On the flip side, unfavorable currency translation continues to be a major dampener for the stock. Management fears that further strengthening of the dollar against foreign currencies will lead to deteriorating operating results.

Intensifying competition as well as the possibility that Myriad's new test might not generate meaningful profits to outweigh the costs associated with its development continues to raise concern.
