Men lose their Y chromosome as they age. Scientists thought it didn’t matter – but now we’re learning more The Y chromosome doesn’t seem to do much except determine sex – but its loss in older men might be linked to heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Chemists determine structure of fuzzy coat that surrounds Tau proteins One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain. The more severe the clumping, the more advanced the disease is.

Genetic testing for BRCA1/2 has been going on now since early 2000s. BRCA 1 was discovered in 1994, BRCA 2 in 1996. Was there a period in early 2000s when BRCA2 wasn't yet included and those women should be retested, could be carrier of 2 unknowingly?

New wheat diversity discovery could provide an urgently-needed solution to global food security Newly-discovered diversity in the wheat genome could offer vital new opportunities to improve and ‘climate-proof’ one of the world’s most important staple crops.

💬 “The new expression atlas allowed us to independently predict and compare the gene content of the wheat cultivars."

🌾 Scientists have published the first wheat pan-transcriptome to reveal layers of hidden diversity spanning our modern #wheat variations.
