When we look into the deep roots of the human genome, we open the gates to a past that is full of incredible secrets. A recent discovery in the field of genetics brings us a fascinating story about a mysterious population of “ghosts” who may have lived in West Africa thousands of years ago. Study … Read more
A combination of genomic information and blood biomarkers can more accurately identify people at high risk of developing chronic diseases, according to research conducted by Finnish firm Nightingale Health. Using machine learning, data from 300,000 UK Biobank participants and 200,000 from an Estonian biobank were analysed to build predictive models for individuals’ chances of developing … Read more
A study by scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Canada has found new genetic sequences that could inform interventions aimed at reducing high blood pressure. The scientists identified commonly overlooked fragments of the genome known as non-coding DNA, but used computer-assisted techniques to investigate genetic variants and their likely effect on nearby … Read more
A recent study conducted by researchers from the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine has identified several new genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that are unique to Ashkenazi Jews. AD is the most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world, affecting individuals of all races and ethnicities. However, most genetic research for … Read more
Nature highlight May 11, 2023 Nature 6177960 The Bell inequality has helped shed light on the structure of correlations allowed by quantum mechanics and what this theory of physics says about the world. Experimental verification of the Bell inequality is also of practical importance, as it allows confirmation of the existence of true quantum correlations … Read more
When do the books we read begin to carve us? The echo of the men’s night talk reaches the kitchen of the house cut with laughter. The book that marked me the most was The Catcher in the Rye. (Salinger), says one of the teens. They talk about school, literature, some sex. To me Tokio … Read more
The study of archaic DNA brings new insights. Currently, scientists are focused on two personalities working at the German Max Planck Institute, namely Cosimo Post and Svante Pääb (Pääbo received the Nobel Prize last year for his work in the field of paleogenetics – late order.)focused on how the distribution of populations and their genetic … Read more
