Washington, DC - A multi-institution team, funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today reported results of the largest effort to date to chart the genetic changes involved in the most common form of lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma. The findings should help pave the way for more individualized approaches for detecting and treating the nation’s leading cause of cancer deaths.

Some people may know where their ancestors lived 10 or 20 generations ago, but the rest of us can learn our distant biological heritage only from our DNA. New genomics analysis software developed by computer scientists at Stanford appears far more adept than prior methods at unraveling the ancestry of individuals. A paper describing the HAPAA system, which takes its name from "hapa," the Hawaiian word for someone of mixed ancestry, appears online today and in the April printed issue of the journal Genome Research.

One day soon, you may be able to pinpoint the geographic origins of your ancestors based on analysis of your DNA. In a study led by John Novembre, UCLA assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, an international team of researchers used DNA to predict the geographic origins of individuals from a sample of Europeans, often within a few hundred kilometers of where they were born. Their findings were published Aug. 31 in the online edition of the journal Nature.

The wheels of evolution turn on genetic innovation - new genes with new functions appear, allowing organisms to grow and adapt in new ways. But deciphering the history of how and when various genes appeared, for any organism, has been a difficult and largely intractable task.
