Ten Years Ago Today, It Was Revealed That the Human Genome Had Been Decoded. A Medical Revolution Beckoned. So What Happened Next?
According to Human Genome project, our genome has ~22000 genes. Analysis of the human microbiome has revealed that there are 3.3 million unique genes in human gut alone which is 150 times more genes than in our genome. 5. What isMicrobiome fingerprint? Each individual has a unique microbiome ...
Although the Human Genome Project has been finished mapping the genome, the project continues to do further projects in analyzing the information they uncovered and partners with private companies to do research as well. On one Human Genome Project site you can see all of the neat things they ...
BackgroundThe debate over informed consent for research on stored biological samples has enormous scientific implications. Unfortunately, there are no
Recent studies demonstrated that changes in gut microbiota can impact the onset of ocular diseases. Investigating the correlation between the microbiome and ocular diseases has emerged as a starting point for examining disease pathways and preventing disease progression. This review aims to delve into ...
Some minds are so exceptional they change the world. We don’t know exactly why these people soar above the rest of us, but science offers us clues.
Modeling has revealed how the use of genome editing to introduce beneficial alleles into cattle breeds could maintain or even accelerate the rate of genetic gain accomplished by conventional breeding programs. Genome editing could be used to precisely introduce useful alleles (e.g., heat tolerance, ...
The International HapMap Consortium (a successor to the Human Genome Project) summarizes the situation neatly in the lead sentence of a report in Nature:“Despite the ever-accelerating pace of biomedical research, the root causes of common human diseases remain largely unknown, preventative measures ...
ENCODE (the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) is a public research consortium that is trying to identify all of the functional elements in the human genome. And modENCODE is doing the same thing for model organisms.One of the surprising things that ENCODE has revealed is that transcription is not...
The hypothesis that intelligence is an adaptation to deal with the complexity of living in semi-permanent groups of conspecifics, a situation that involves the potentially tricky balance of competition and cooperation with the same individuals, has been influential in recent theorizing about human mental...
