Moving Forward in Human Cancer Risk Assessment
BACKGROUND The current safety paradigm for assessing carcinogenic properties of drugs, cosmetics, industrial chemicals, and environmental exposures relies mainly on in vitro genotoxicity testing followed by 2-year rodent bioassays. This testing battery is extremely sensitive but has low specificity. Furthermore, rodent bioassays are associated with high costs, high animal burden, and limited pr...
متن کاملSupport for the Human Cancer Genome Project.
IN“ANOPENLETTERTOCANCERRESEARCHERS” (Letters, 21 Oct., p. 439), S. J. Elledge and G. J. Hannon questioned the wisdom of asking the NIH to undertake the Human Cancer Genome Project (HCGP) (1) recently proposed by a National Cancer Institute Working Group, of which we were members.

The unusually frequent occurrence of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 1981 was a sentinel observation leading to the inclusion of KS in the first AIDS case definition. More than three decades later, major research investments have led to striking advances in understanding HIV pathogenesis, with an...
متن کاملThe Genome 10K Project: a way forward.
The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species. Since then the number of selected and initiated species has risen from ∼26 to 277 sequenced or ongoing with funding, an approximately tenfold increase in five years. Here we summarize the adv...
متن کاملThe Human Genome Project.
Dear readers, The last few decades have seen a number of exciting developments in genetics. First, Watson and Crick broke the genetic code; since then, tech-nologic and methodologic breakthroughs have permitted the study and direct manipulation of our DNA. Now there is an international ground swell to map and sequence the human genome. The Bush administration had originally requested $128 milli...
