Wednesday 19 November 2008

Last week, Genome Medicine, BioMed Central's premier medical journal, announced its upcoming January 2009 launch at a special reception held at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), in Philadelphia. In addition to publishing high-quality research, Genome Medicine serves the international research community as a forum for the discussion and critical review of information about all areas of medicine informed by genomic research.

BioMed Central attends the Open Science Workshop
BioMed Central recently attended a workshop organized by The Open Knowledge Foundation to discuss finding and re-using open scientific resources. The event featured in-depth discussions about open data, the benefits and a "how to do it" section. As an open access publisher, we are heavily involved in promoting data-sharing through our journal BMC Research Notes so this was a valuable forum for the company to share knowledge and opinions with participants from a variety of sectors.

Allan Baker explains the evolutionary significance of studies published in BMC Biology on the speciation of Mexican jays in isolated mountain niches. Meanwhile, Marie-Anne Félix discusses the implications of the capricious susceptibility of different nematode species to RNA interference, as illustrated in a recent paper in BMC Molecular Biology.

Fenfluramine use and valvulopathy
BMC Medicine 2008, 6:34
In a large cohort of fenfluramine users, almost a fifth of women and over 10% of men have regurgitant valvular heart disease, and the incidence of valvulopathy increases with the duration of fenfluramine use.

"This paper demonstrates the power of modern sequencing techniques -- in this case, Solexa -- for genetic analysis. Strikingly, the authors find that sequence variations tend to be clustered in small regions of the genome, potentially as a result of the horizontal gene transfer that occurred during generation of the different Bacillus subtilis lab strains." by Petra Levin (Washington University, United States of America) for Faculty of 1000 Biology.

"This study begs the question, are we a step away from a new medication for Huntington's Disease (HD)? Recent therapeutic strategies, aimed to improve transcriptional output via modulation of chromatin structure, uncovered that commercially available histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors showed beneficial effects on motor output in several animal models of HD" by Karoly Mirnics (Vanderbilt University, USA) for Faculty of 1000 Medicine.
