How environment and genome interact is also the goal of new, even more powerful methods. While the technology used so far can only identify genes that have cha...

Snoring in children might be an allergic type disease

... the observed associations with risk factors could apply to the general population where previous studies have also found strong associations between allergic or inflammatory diseases and snoring. “Snoring can be an early manifestation of more serious sleep-disordered breathing, so it’s not necessarily...

New vaccine prevents CMV infection and disease in mice

...by the virus.” She added that the next step is to apply this strategy to create a vaccine for use in humans. CMV is a virus that, while carried by the majority of adults in the United States, can remain dormant for years, if not the lifetime, of a healthy individual. However, two percent of all childr...

Corals -- More complex than you?

...nction in similar ways, so the hope is that we can apply what we know about human health to better understand coral disease. There may also be a direct payback, in the sense that, by exploring the ancestral immune genetic repertoire of corals and how it functions in a simple animal, we will gain new ins...

Do fruit flies have free will?

...ee Will" is an oxymoron: the term 'will' would not apply if our actions were completely random and it would not be 'free' if they were entirely determined. So if there is free will, it must be somewhere between chance and necessity - which is exactly where fly behavior comes to lie. "The question of whethe...
