Sixteen years since the conclusion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), one of the greatest scientific feats in human history, people around the world can now have a version of their DNA analyzed for a modest fee via Direct-to consumer (DTC) genetic testing. The technology is rapidly accelerating the number of people who are able […]

For the first time, researchers have identified genetic regions of the genome that lead to the development of left-handedness. Despite making up approximately 10pc of the world’s population, there remains a number of genetic mysteries when it comes to left-handers. However, a new study led by researchers from the University of Oxford have discovered a

What Is Genetic Alphabet? Our genetic code is stored in DNA in an elegant double helix form. But some people argue that this is the pride that it is the elegance. “Many things are wrong in DNA as molecules,” said Steven Benner, an organic chemist from the Foundation of Applied Molecular Evolution in Florida.
