Ryan Gregory's lab at the University of Guelph in Ontario is a sort of genomic menagerie, stocked with creatures, living and dead, waiting to have their DNA laid bare.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
The body requires antioxidants to neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and their DNA.
All cancer has an element of chance - a roll of the dice that decides whether your DNA acquires a mutation that leads to cancer.
Professor Sally Hodgson, an expert in cancer genetics from St George's Hospital in South London, said DNA analysis is 'very open to misunderstanding'.
If it seems you are permanently single while everyone else around you is in a relationship, blame your DNA.
An alien with stunted DNA.
SINGLDOUT, a San Diego-based start up, has devised a proprietary algorithm that matches singles based partly on DNA compatibility and partly on the results from a psychological questionnaire.
Coming from a company that has"invent"as part of our brand, as part of our signature, I sometimes begin speeches by saying that invention and innovation have been part the DNA of HP's for more than sixty years.
If you are unfamiliar with the componentry of your genes, telomeres are the tiny caps on the ends of DNA strands.
It will be obvious,for example,that the gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA――but what side－effect would it have?
The association remained after adjusting for age, gender and many known myopia-associated variations in DNA sequences.
It will be obvious,for example,that the gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA――but what side－effect would it have?
Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA.
The discussion is taking place at both the local and global levels How small can a fragment of an ecosystem be and still function in all its richness and thus be considered preserved﹖ And as global biodiversity diminishes is it a valid fallback strategy to bank organisms and genes in zoos DNA banks or the like or does this simply justify more habitat destruction﹖ Is nature on ice a sufficient substitute for the real thing﹖ Some conservation groups have strenuously avoided or even attacked such c
