The surface of our body contains a multitude of ideal environments for the growth of various species of microorganisms that play a fundamental role in our health. Now, a team of scientists from the National Human Genome Research Institute and the National Cancer Institute (USA) has drawn up the first map of the fungi that inhabit our skin.
The Institute of Genomic Medicine (Imegen), a company located in the Scientific Park of the University of Valencia, has created a technology to detect the presence of horse meat in food using DNA technology. It is the first existing kit in this field and its development has been carried out on behalf of the American multinational Life Technologies, one of the world leaders in DNA technology.
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick of Cambridge University went down in the annals of science history after publishing an article describing the double helix structure of DNA, the universal chemical code for all life forms in the world. Land. Sixty years later, scientists from the same university have just identified quadruple helix structures in the human genome.
An international team of British and American scientists have discovered a DNA sequence that is associated with a person's tendency to occupy a leadership position, whether as a class delegate, in a company, in sports or in the political arena. The study, published in the journal 'Leadership Quarterly', suggests that, therefore, having "leader wood" would be an inheritable trait from father to son.
Brain aging slows down due to the absence of DNA polymerase?, Known as the Pol gene ,? according to an investigation in which the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has participated and published in the journal PLoS ONE. The results suggest the ability to learn and remember at advanced ages in mice is related to the activity of this gene and cell repair.
The international 1000 Genomes consortium has succeeded in sequencing the genomes of 1,092 healthy people from a wide range of ethnic groups in fourteen countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and America, according to the journal Nature in its latest issue.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
