Scientists have identified a new genetic disease, which causes some children’s brains to develop abnormally, resulting in delayed intellectual development. The majority of patients with the condition, that is so new it doesn’t have a name yet, have severe learning difficulties which affect their quality of life. An international team of researchers from the universities … Read more
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain In the early 1960s, University of Michigan alumnus Marshall Nirenberg and a few other scientists deciphered the genetic code of life, determining the rules by which information in DNA molecules are translated into proteins, the working parts of living cells. They identified three-letter units in DNA sequences, known as codons, that … Read more
Newswise — Scientists have identified a new genetic disease, which causes some children’s brains to develop abnormally, resulting in delayed intellectual development.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that new genetic sequencing data indicate there are at least two distinct monkeypox outbreaks underway outside Africa — a surprise finding that one official said suggests international spread is wider, and has been occurring for longer than has been previously realized. Three of 10 viruses the … Read more
Most mammals, including humans, are diploid. That is, nuclear DNA (nrDNA) exists as pairs of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, while mice have 20). This pair of chromosomes are homologous, in that the sequence of genes on both the chromosomes is the same. However, a gene that sits on a particular address (‘locus’) … Read more
The genetic disease, which is so new that it has yet to be given a name, causes some children’s brains to develop abnormally. The result is delayed intellectual development which can cause severe learning difficulties and can significantly affect a child’s quality of life. This has shown to be the case with the majority of … Read more
Recent reports of poliovirus detected in samples from a sewage treatment works in London have rightly generated significant concern among public health agencies and medical staff. The poliovirus detected is what is called vaccine-derived poliovirus – this is not “wild poliovirus”. There are currently two poliovirus vaccines: the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) and the inactivated … Read more

June the 24th, 2022 – Dubrovnik hosts the 12th International Conference on Anthropological Genetics and Forensics, which saw 550 scientists, doctors and other experts from across Europe and the rest of the world descend on the Pearl of the Adriatic. As Morski writes, the 12th International Conference on Anthropological Genetics and Forensics brought together the … Read more
Every so often stories of genetic theft, or extreme precautions taken to avoid it, make headline news. So it was with a picture of French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting at the opposite ends of a very long table after Macron declined to take a Russian PCR COVID-19 test. Many speculated … Read more
