Lasker Awards Target Developmental, Diagnostic Genetics
Rebecca Andrews | Sep 29, 1991 | 6 min read
The Laskers are among the most prestigious medical research awards in the world and among the oldest in the United States. Since they were first presented in 1944, 49 winners have gone on to win Nobel Prizes. Jordan Gutterman of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, executive vice president of the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, and director of the awards program since earlier this year, attributes the prestige of the awards to their longevity and to the "extraordinary quality&quo

Flies Invade Human Genetics
Ricki Lewis | Jun 21, 1998 | 9 min read
  DOUBLE WINGS: An ultrabithorax mutant fly has a total duplication of the body segment that carries wings. Recent issues of The American Journal of Human Genetics have featured a newcomer: Drosophila melanogaster. The fruit fly is a frequent star of a series of review articles called "Insights From Model Systems." The insect's appearance in a human genetics journal is a telling sign that this model among model organisms, long used to decipher the general principles of inheritance

Scientists Refining Methods For Genetically Altering Insects
Harvey Black | Oct 12, 1997 | 8 min read
FROM LAB TO FIELD: Florida's Marjorie Hoy holds a dish containing several hundred Western predatory mites, which she transformed by injecting a plasmid containing a gene directly into females' ovaries. Creating transgenic insects is seen by some scientists as a new way to manage and possibly eradicate enduring problems such as malaria and agricultural damage from the Mediterranean fruit fly. Researchers appear to be making significant strides in refining the technique. Meanwhile, critics are r
