Researchers have mapped the genes that control pain perception in fruit flies, mice, and potentially humans. The map consists of gene pathways that help flies and mice sense pain and set pain thresholds…

A particular gene is responsible for how likely a person is to binge drink. A variation of the RASGRF-2 gene gives people…
New research shows how genetics, not just environmental factors, play a role linking birth weight to adult health problems like diabetes. It is no secret that underweight babies are more likely to suffer…
Intelligence is our most complex characteristic. Some would even say it defines us, setting us apart from other primates. And now, a new study – published this week by Hennady P. Shulha and colleagues…
The lethal beaked sea snake (Enhydrina shistosa) is actually two species of identical-looking snakes which have evolved separately…
AEG - a small molecule that can link into chains, which has been synthesised and studied by the pharmaceutical industry…
A genetic variant on chromosome X near the claudin-2 gene (CLDN2) predicts which men who are heavy drinkers are at a higher…
A study published in PNAS this week has confirmed that human blood types were present in one of our ancient primate ancestors. The ABO blood groups Beloved by genetics teachers the world over, the ABO…
Eating disorders that stem from a desire to be thin can be blamed in part on genetics, according to a new US study. The study, published this week in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, found…
A new genetic test could predict the likelihood of developing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and help with early management…
Biologists have discovered the mechanism by which a group of proteins, known as DEAD-Box proteins, unravel RNA (ribonucleic…
DNA previously written off as junk actually acts as a lever controlling genetic activity, leading to health or illness, reveals a massive new genetic mapping project. It’s been ten years since the human…
Imagine a future where doctors take a strand of your hair or a drop of your blood and tell you your DNA predicts a 78% risk of developing heart disease. On the plus side, it also predicts exactly which…
Up to 2,000 of our 21,000 genes could affect our bone strength, research has found. In an experiment with mice, researchers…
Identical twins are nearly twice as likely to both faint compared to non identical twins. A study has revealed that the complex…
For many decades humans have pursued work to characterise the human genome. Today, publicly available references to genome sequences are available and have been instrumental in effecting recent advances…
Mutations in the DNA of mitochondria appear to help explain why women live, on average, longer than men. Genetic variations…
For more than 50 years, sport scientists have used a variety of physical tests to try and identify those exceptional athletes who walk among us. Despite most countries having some sort of athlete talent…
Academics at the University of Alaska have discovered evidence for genetic change in pink salmon populations as a response…
Research undertaken over five years by a group of undergraduates has come to fruition in the publication of a study on the…
