The world, in perspective.

Researchers studied DNA from more than 1,000 modern-day Polynesians and found that Native Hawaiians and Easter Islanders were most closely related. The findings help trace the epic settlement of the Polynesian islands while also revealing genetic vulnerabilities among their communities

Scientists have discovered all five essential nucleobases used in DNA and RNA in pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu, revealing that key ingredients for life existed in space billions of years ago. The remarkable finding adds to growing evidence from other asteroids and meteorites that these molecules were widespread throughout the early Solar System.

O nouă tehnică de editare genetică, numită „prime editing”, a fost testată pentru prima dată direct în corpul unui pacient cu boala Wilson, o afecțiune ereditară care împiedică eliminarea eficientă a excesului de cupru din organism. Procedura experimentală urmărește corectarea mutației genetice responsabile de boală. Metoda ar putea reduce costurile și timpu

Purtăm în ADN-ul nostru nu numai culoarea ochilor părinţilor şi bunicilor noştri, înălţimea, forma nasului, buzelor sau urechilor, ci şi predispoziţiile spre afecţiunile de care au suferit înaintaşii noştri. Şi tot în ADN-ul nostru există şi date preţioase privind modificările genetice pe care le-am moştenit sau pe care pur şi simplu le-a dezvoltat sau le-ar
