A new $8 million NIH grant seeks to uncover more clues into what genes increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.
Greg Crawford, Charlie Gersbach, Tim Reddy and Raluca Gordân from the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology have teamed up with Patrick Sullivan, Yun Li, Michael Love, and Paola Giusti-Rodriguez at UNC-Chapel Hill and Flora Vaccarino at Yale University to narrow down areas of the genome previously marked relevant to schizophrenia risk.
“Schizophrenia is incredibly complex at every level,” Sullivan said, “from DNA to its clinical manifestations.”
Previous genetic studies -some piloted by Sullivan – have narrowed down the search space. Using samples from 25,000 patients who had schizophrenia and 97,000 samples from those who didn’t, researchers discovered 270 different regions of interest in the genome. These regions vary in size, but each on average span hundreds of thousands of base pairs.
In a blockbuster 1997 film
Wag the Dog, Robert De Niro plays a fixer extraordinaire who’s summoned to the White House after a potential front-page scandal threatens to sink the president’s reelection. To deflect attention away from this controversy, De Niro and Hollywood producer Dustin Hoffman plan a fake war, or pageant, as they call it.
As De Niro famously quipped, “We’re not going to have a war. We’re going to have the
appearance of a war.” Playing on this sentiment, director Barry Levinson stressed, “We’re reaching a point where it’s no longer easy to differentiate between what’s fabricated and what’s real.”

On a flight from New York City to Dallas, Michael Love Michael found the inspiration for 6 Jaguars . For the four-hour plane ride, they were seated next to a man and his wife who were “drinking tequila shots they smuggled onto the plane,” the Chicago-raised artist laughed. After a couple of drinks, the man divulged, “I actually have six jaguars in a garage because I collect them.” And with that, Michael’s new song was born.
