In Print Photo by Phil Farnsworth Focus: Worm Genes Confirmed and Cloned for Proteomic Tool Kit For the first time, researchers have verified experimentally an entire set of genes in a multicellular organism. The results, from the worm genome, confirm the existence of many predicted genes. They also suggest that more than half the genes in sequenced genomes may need correction to enable study of the proteins that the genes encode. The work is reported by Marc Vidal and his colleagues.   Publications Online BBS Bulletin Focus HMI World HSTconnector MD-PhD Newsletter MedEd News Mentations On The Brain   Related Links InteliHealth Harvard Health Publications		Headlines Study Offers New Insights into Angiogenesis Inhibitors Study Identifies Alzheimer's-associated Changes in the Eye Study Sheds New Light on How Common Painkillers May Help Prevent Colon Cancer A Gene Carried Only by Males Sparks Immune Reaction to Stem Cell Transplants from Female Donors Eye Researchers Discover Serological Association Between Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Age-related Macular Degeneration Upcoming The Lawrence Lader Lecture on Family Planning and Reproductive Rights Reproductive Genetics: The Science, the Medicine, and the Ethical Challenges Mark Hughes, Wayne State University Tuesday, April 29 12:30 p.m.		Spotlight The Harvard University Bridge to Learning and Literacy program is seeking volunteer tutors at HMS. The program provides instruction in English conversation, reading, writing, basic math, computer skills, and GED preparation to University workers.
