A genetic map of the British people has been produced by Oxford University researchers. It forms the centrepiece of their display at the Royal Society's free Summer Science Exhibition, which opens today. The remarkable thing about the map is how ...
Researchers at the Division of Structural Biology within the Wellcome Trust Centre have determined the structure of an enzyme that regulates the degradation of genetic signals exiting the nucleus. Related enzymes in humans are strongly implicated in ...
Researchers have developed a new method for analysing the DNA of malaria parasites straight from patient blood samples. The technique will help identify hotspots of malaria parasite evolution and track the rise of malarial drug resistance faster ...
Research shows that lean people with type 2 diabetes have greater genetic predisposition to the disease Type 2 diabetes is popularly associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. However, just as there are obese people without type 2 diabetes, ...
