HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A company at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology has won one of the first three grants from the center managing research on the International Space Station for science that could lead to new and more effective medicines. Also funded this month is work being done at the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The fight against breast cancer is a race with teams from the laboratories, where genetic research picks up speed every year, to the bedside, where drug companies and doctors turn those discoveries into the diagnostic tests and therapies that save lives.NPR features HudsonAlpha's involvement in cat coloration study

At this point it's just an interesting hypothesis, but it's possible that understanding cat coloration could help scientists understand resistance to infectious diseases.
Here's the connection. Stephen O'Brien and colleagues at a variety of institutions including the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, Ala., and Stanford University in California have worked out some of the genetic pathways that explain why "some cats are spotted, some cats have stripes, some cats have what we call blotches, and other cats don't have any of that, they just have a black or a lion-like color," says O'Brien.
HudsonAlpha was featured across multiple media platforms this week as the ENCODE project was released Wednesday, Sept. 5. The ENCODE team, comprised of 442 researchers from 32 labs in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Japan and Singapore, mapped more than 4 million regulatory regions where proteins interact with the DNA with specificity. This mapping significantly advances understanding of the precise and complex controls exerted on cell function.
