Scientists Discover Rare gene-for-gene Interaction That Helps Bacteria Kill Their Host

...earch is that we have been able to study the whole genome of the bacteria to work out how it kills its host, said Professor Stuart Reynolds from the University of Bath. People studying diseases think that the kind of gene-for-gene interaction between pathogen and host that we have found is quite common, b...

Gene Mutations Leave Caucasians Prone To Heart Diseases And Diabetes

...Since the landmark completion of mapping the human genome in 2003, scientists have been able to sniff out vital genes from virtually, millions of them. The two studies, using 40,000 people, found the same thing -a stretch of DNA called 9q21 carried certain mutations in people with heart disease. Scientists ...
