A primary goal of human genetics is to identify DNA sequence variants that influence biomedical traits, particularly those related to the onset and progression of human disease. Over the past 25 years, progress in realizing this objective has been transformed by advances in technology, foundational ...
Introduction to A Brief History of Genetics: Defining Experiments in GeneticsThis learning path will take students through some of the seminal experiments in genetics, allowing students to review some of the data and literature that has provided us with our foundational understanding of our genetic ...
This review briefly summarizes 50 years of research on insect neuropeptide and peptide hormone (collectively abbreviated NPH) signaling, starting with the sequencing of proctolin in 1975. The first 25 years, before the sequencing of theDrosophilagenome, were characterized by efforts to identify novel ...

of them is exempt-must change before the coming rush of facts.” The way genetics impacted on plant breeding turned out to depend upon the mating system of the crop species, as might have been anticipated from Darwin’s book of 1876 onThe Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the ...
The young also have less control over their lives because they lack both independence and the ability to make many of their own decisions.Perhaps the most important question is whether you can change how happy you are. Studies of identical twins suggest that genetics forms about half of your ...

It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath. But it is also our collective story, because in every one of our genomes we each carry the history of our species - bir...
Many people throughout history have tried. Greek scientist and philosopher Aristotle wrote, “Happiness depends upon ourselves”, which is not a definition but an observation that individuals are responsible for their own happiness. Roman statesman and philosopher Lucius Senec a wrote of a particular ...
