Data from a landmark study done by Monash University researchers in Australia raises significant concerns that even short-term exposure to low level air pollution can affect gene expression, leaving us at risk of other diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Some people are more sensitive than others - and around half of these differences can be attributed to our genes. Scientists found that 47 percent of the differences in sensitivity between individuals were down to genetics, leaving 53 percent accounted for by environmental factors

Earliest evidence of Italians' genetic diversity dates back to end of last glacial period. Genetic peculiarities contribute to reducing, on the one hand, the risk of kidney inflammation and skin cancers, and, on the other hand, the risk of diabetes and obesity, favouring sometimes a longer lifespan

Scientists found that a single amino acid change in the NLGN4 gene may explain why autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more common in boys than in girls. The inability of NLGN4Y to compensate for mutations in NLGN4X may help explain why males tend to have a greater incidence of NLGN4X-associated ASD.

Scientists can now edit multiple sites in the genome at the same time to learn how different DNA stretches co-operate in health and disease. Dubbed 'CHyMErA', for Cas Hybrid for Multiplexed Editing and Screening Applications, the method can be applied to any type of mammalian cell.

Scientists have described the structure of an endogenously sourced, functioning neuronal amyloid at atomic resolution. It is composed of self-aggregated Orb2, the fruit fly version of the mRNA-binding cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding (CPEB) protein, which is linked to long-term memory.
