In our genes
…one of two neighboring gene family members that encode mitochondrial enzymes which catalyze the oxidative deamination of amines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.… associated with a variety of other psychiatric disorders… 59% of Black men, 54% of Chinese men, 56% of Maori men, and 34% of Caucasian men carried the 3R allele, while 5.5% of Black men, 0.1% of Caucasian men, and 0.00067% of Asian men carried the 2R allele.…
…mosquitoes. Scientists have discovered the chances of being bitten are down to genetic factors… could be several years until a pill is discovered which could finally ease the summer torment of those with ‘tasty blood’… comes down to a gene variant which controls body odour. Some people have genes which provide a natural defence against the insects while others are not so lucky.…
hasn't aged in the conventional sense... body is not developing as a coordinated unit, but as independent parts that are out of sync... still has baby teeth at 16... bone age is estimated to be more like 10 years old... mental capacity of a toddler...
Gene regulatory networks in cell nuclei are similar to cloud computing networks, such as Google or Yahoo!, researchers report in the journal Molecular Systems Biology. The similarity is that each system keeps working despite the failure of individual components, whether they are master genes or computer processors.
Stretches of DNA previously believed to be useless 'junk' DNA play a vital role in the evolution of our genome, researchers have now shown. They found that unstable pieces of junk DNA help tuning gene activity and enable organisms to quickly adapt to changes in their environments.
The isolation of a gene for anger helps explain why some fly into a rage at the slightest provocation, while others can remaining irritatingly calm.
