Two mutations causing diabetes and obesity have been found

One of them is found in the genome of about a million Americans. The second, less dangerous mutation is represented in the genomes of 7% of African Americans. And these are not the first and not the last mutations that make excess calories especially dangerous.

Pharmacogenomics is already on the threshold of clinics

Soon, everyone will be able to store data about their genome on a medium whose size will be comparable to the size of a credit card. At the same time, doctors will be able to predict the effectiveness of treatment by studying the patient's genome.

We will tell you for the genes :)

Science does not know of a single characteristic gene that would be only in Jews and would not manifest itself in other ethnic groups. But representatives of Jewish communities around the world do have similar hereditary traits.

DNA analysis will show the place of birth of the criminal

To select new, more reliable, informative and gender-independent markers, it will be necessary to collect extensive data on their distribution among different peoples, residents of regions and districts of Russia and Belarus, and, if possible, neighboring states.

Mammoth and Elephant: Find a million differences

During genome-wide sequencing, a group of researchers managed to detect 1.4 million variants of various genes characteristic exclusively for the mammoth, which changed proteins produced by 1,600 other genes.

Environment and heredity – ending

We continue to talk about the extent to which a person's individual qualities – his character traits, inclinations, diseases - are biologically predetermined from birth.

Environment and heredity – the beginning

Congenital or acquired? To what extent is innate, and to what extent is acquired? Disputes of this kind are conducted about almost any property of the human body, and, especially zealously, about deviations from the norm.

The Daylight Saving Time gene

Japanese biologists have found a special gene and a system of nerve cells that help our body "sense" the onset of summer by how the length of the day changes, and switch to a more active lifestyle.

Why does DNA need a fifth letter?

Geneticists have found in the DNA of mice a special subspecies of one of the four "letters"-nucleotides, which plays a special regulatory role in the work of the genes in which it is contained, and claims to be the fifth member of the genetic alphabet.

Heredity versus environment

A large–scale meta–analysis (for 14.5 million pairs of twins) showed that, on average, each trait or disorder is caused by genes and environment approximately equally (49% of the variability is due to genes, about 51% is due to environment and/or measurement errors).
