The new meta-analysis shows that at least 1260 gene variants influence the occurrence of classical personality traits, with genetic disposition being significant in contributing to individual personality, although not deterministic. #Genetik #Psychologie #Persönlichkeit (translated)
The main cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes, but it is interesting that in the case of adenocarcinoma, the proportion of non-smokers is significantly higher than in other types of lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma is lung cancer, one of the most serious diseases of the respiratory system in which cells begin to grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. Medically, lung cancer is divided into two main groups: small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma. The latter is much more common and includes adenocarcinoma, which most often develops in the outer parts of the lungs, explains Dr. Igor Štagljar, professor and director of the Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, who is developing new approaches to discovering drugs for cancer. #Papa #rakpluća #oporavak (translated)
Cells sort and destroy faulty messenger RNA to ensure that genetic information is passed on correctly, thereby guaranteeing the production of the right proteins for their functions. #Zellforschung #mRNA #Genetik (translated)
Markus Heilig criticizes Roland Paulsen's book "Dumbed Down" for misinterpreting and distorting scientific concepts within behavioral genetics and underestimating the importance of heredity for intelligence and cognition. #genetik #intelligens #beteende (translated)
Researchers examined the genetic material of the nearly 200-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise Jonathan and discovered gene variants that slow down typical aging processes, which could provide valuable insights into understanding aging in humans. #Altern #Genetik #AldabraRiesenschildkröte (translated)
A new DNA analysis has shown that the Black Death, which struck Europe in the 14th century, repeatedly returned in new epidemics over the centuries, with its spread closely related to historical events such as wars and migrations. #ČernáSmrt #historie #genetika (translated)
Peter Hegemann, Georg Nagel, and Karl Deisseroth are awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries in optogenetics, which demonstrate how light can control the activity of nerve cells in the brain. #Nobelpreis2026 #Genetik #Optogenetik (translated)
Agnes Wold responded to Maria Jonsson that it was not strange and wrote that type 2 diabetes was largely genetically determined. She claimed that Europe and Africa had the lowest incidence rates in the world, while Latin America had the highest, and that Sweden was among the countries with the lowest incidence in Europe. #Typ2Diabetes #Genetik #Hälsa (translated)
The author claimed that Bill Gates is investing millions in genetically modified mosquitoes and ticks. Oxitec has repeatedly received millions; in March 2022, the Gates Foundation pledged about 18.3 million US dollars to test a self-limiting mosquito technology. #Genetik #Umweltschutz #Innovation #US (translated)
In the laboratory without a photomicroscope, she counted forty-seven chromosomes in the child's cells. A colleague took the preparations for photography. She was then listed as the first author on the article that laid the foundations of human genetics. Additionally, her name was misspelled in the publication. Welcome to another episode of my series #WomenInScience. If you like it, please like and share it. Recommendation for threads - like each tweet (also for you to see where you left off), it's best to share just the first one (if you do it right away, then you won't have to come back). #ŽenyVeVědě #Genetika #Věda (translated)

Eine neue Studie enthüllt, dass jeder Mensch Geister-DNA in sich trägt, deren Abstammung von unbekannten Vorfahren stammt, und zeigt, dass die menschliche Geschichte eher einem Netz als einem klaren Stammbaum ähnelt. #GeisterDNA #AnfängeDerMenschheit #Genetik
Das familiäre Krebsrisiko kann durch genetische Veränderungen beeinflusst werden, wobei geschätzt 5 bis 10 Prozent aller Krebserkrankungen erblich bedingt sind, und es wichtig ist, sowohl die mütterliche als auch die väterliche Familiengeschichte zu berücksichtigen, um das persönliche Risiko besser einschätzen zu können. #Krebsrisiko #Genetik #Familiengeschichte
Eine neue Studie des IMBA in Wien zeigt, dass Transposons, einst als Junk-DNA betrachtet, durch ihre Fähigkeit, zwischen Zellen zu wandern, eine entscheidende Rolle in der Evolution und der Entwicklung komplexer biologischer Funktionen spielen. #Transposons #Evolution #Genetik
U recenziji knjige Životni vijek autora Davida A. Sinclaira, koji istražuje starenje kao biološki proces na koji je moguće utjecati, ističe se da starenje ne mora biti neizbježna posljedica života te da bi znanstveni napredak mogao omogućiti značajno produljenje zdravog životnog vijeka. #starenje #dugovječnost #genetika

Nová studie ukazuje, že metoda editace bází může být šetrnější alternativou k CRISPR-Cas9 při opravě DNA v lidských embryích, avšak technologii je třeba ještě zdokonalit a vyřešit otázky bezpečnosti před jejím klinickým využitím. #DNA #genetika #věda
Český výzkum vedený Danielem Ellederem a Jiřím Nehybou odhalil, že ptačí geny, považované za chybějící, se ve skutečnosti skrývaly v obtížně čitelných dot chromozomech, čímž vyvstává nové pochopení evoluční stability genomů a procesu zvaného sekvenční koktání, který ukazuje na vysokou variabilitu a nestabilitu některých částí DNA. #genetika #ptáci #evoluce
Två nya studier från Karolinska Institutet visar att inflammation, förändrad genreglering och exponering för ämnen i tobaksrök kan spela en viktig roll i utvecklingen av klusterhuvudvärk genom att bekräfta genetiska riskfaktorer och undersöka miljöpåverkan på sjukdomen. #klusterhuvudvärk #inflammation #genetik
