Genetic factors linked to obesity may lower metabolic risk

Experts believe that where on the body people store surplus fat, whether round their middle or round the liver, may be genetically determined.

	Unraveling a rare genetic mutation related to growth disorders What would happen if you suddenly stopped growing at age 12 or 13? Solving genetic growth mysteries and scheduling regular appointments with pediatric endocrinologists is atypical for most parents and pediatricians.

	Researchers identify genetic variation that may influence severity of CTE disease Researchers have identified a genetic variation that may influence chronic traumatic encephalopathy disease severity.

	Geneticists decipher new gene responsible for rare form of hair loss Hypotrichosis simplex leads to progressive hair loss already in childhood. A team of researchers led by human geneticists at the University Hospital of Bonn has now deciphered a new gene that is responsible for this rare form of hair loss.

	Genetic inhibition of SARM1 prevents axonal degeneration in nervous systems Disarm Therapeutics, a biotechnology company creating a new class of disease-modifying therapeutics for patients with axonal degeneration, a central driver of neurological disease, today announced data demonstrating that genetic inhibition of SARM1 prevents axonal degeneration in the central, ocular and peripheral nervous systems.

	The Applications and Ethics of Gene Editing Gene editing applications can cover a broad range of industry areas from food to healthcare, and involve specific alterations to a DNA sequence.

	Scientists discover new details about UHRF1 protein Epigenetic changes often play an important role in cancer, because they cause the genetic material to be read incorrectly at certain locations. Genes that are especially critical are those that control the growth and death of cells.

	Scientists make strides in developing liquid biopsies for detecting brain tumor DNA Scientists are making strides in developing liquid biopsies for brain tumors by detecting tumor DNA in the fluid from around the brain and spine.

	Scientists Decode the Longest Ever Continuous DNA Sequence Scientists have decoded the longest continuous DNA sequence to date, measuring around 10,000 times longer than normal sequencing reads.

	DNA Translation DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum.
