Pathogenic E. Coli Pervasive In Stream-water Samples With Low Concentrations Of Fecal Indicator Bacteria Oct 30, 2009
Gene markers for pathogenic E. coli were pervasive in water from Michigan and Indiana streams even in water with low concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria. Water samples exceeding the fecal coliform criteria for recreational water were significantly more likely to contain two of the tested pathogen markers. (Science Daily)

There was no family history of the disease and none of the sisters tested positive for the gene marker for breast cancer. They said either it s a gene that has not been discovered yet or we were all exposed to something when we were younger, Bigelow said. (Easton Journal, MA)

Duo helps black men fight prostate cancer Jul 21, 2009
"We have identified a couple of very interesting gene markers that seem to be more prevalent in these families that have high incidences of prostate cancer, with an early onset," said Ahaghotu. "We also did a paper looking at some of the clinical characteristics of those men who presented with early onset prostate cancer, and we found that many of these individuals actually had disease that could be treated," Ahaghotu adds.

Tracing anthrax's American roots Mar 16, 2009
As an outgrowth of the 2001 terror attacks, the NAU lab has expanded its "molecular genotyping" capabilities for the bacteria, and looked at 2,850 gene markers common to all those samples to see how closely related each one was, and how those links changed with geography. The researchers developed a "molecular clock" to estimate the age of the bacteria samples. (USA Today -- Tech)
