Medicine, HHMI to develop library of mouse genes To speed the identification of genes related to human diseases and to aid in the understanding of basic biological processes, the School of Medi- cine and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) are collaborating to identify and partially sequence the major- ity of mouse genes. Researchers plan to generate as many as 400,000 partial sequences of genes that are expressed during the embryonic and fetal stages in an effort to survey the entire set of mouse genes. The availability of these gene fragments, or expressed sequence tags (ESTs), should accelerate the rate at which HHMI researchers and other biomedical scientists find disease- related genes as well as genes that control normal cell function. The $2.3 million two-year project will be conducted at the School of Medicine and will be directed by Robert H. Waterston, M.D., Ph.D., James S. McDonnell Professor of Genetics, head of the Department of Genetics and professor of anatomy and neurobiology.

This new study is the first formal look at whether seasonality as a trait is genetically inherited. Principal investigator Pamela Madden, Ph.D., research instructor of psychiatry, studied a sample of 4,639 adult twins from Austra- lia to look at genetic influences on seasonal changes in mood and behavior. "An advantage to conducting a study on seasonal- Pamela Madden ity in Australia is that their seasons are reversed — their winter occurs during our summer," said Madden. "This allowed us to distinguish the holiday blues from a winter form of seasonality." She found that 13 percent of the twins in the sample reported that seasonality was a problem for them, but the number who had symptoms was higher. About 17 percent reported that they suffered from mood changes, weight gain and sleep problems during the winter. Only 2 percent of the sample reported the extreme degree of seasonality described by patients with SAD. The sample included both identical and fraternal twins.
