Scientists replay movie encoded in DNA
Wednesday, July 12, 2017
For the first time, a primitive movie has been encoded in – and then played back from – DNA in living cells. Scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health say it is a major step toward a “molecular recorder” that may someday make it possible to get read-outs, for example, of the changing internal states of neurons as they develop.

NIH Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia-FTD Genomics Consortium
Saturday, July 15, 2017 | London, UK
This workshop will introduce the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia (ADRD) FTD activities to the larger research community. The workshop will focus on genetic approaches for identifying new gene mutations, genetic modifier identification, data availability, cohort studies and emerging technologies. Ongoing efforts in Parkinson's Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and FTD sequencing will be presented and a panel discussion will focus on collaborative efforts going forward. Clinical trial preparation will be discussed specifically in reference to the use of genetics in FTD clinical trials.
