A Curious Inheritance: Studying How DNA Changes Pass from One Cell Generation to the Next
A report on molecular biologist Iestyn Whitehouse's research on how modification patterns in DNA and the proteins that make up chromosomes determine which genes are expressed.
Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor
ScienceDaily - Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that a genetic mutation that occurred between 6,000-10,000 years ago is the cause of all blue-eyed people today.
Brain gene expression changes when honey bees go the distance
U. of Illinois - Scientists developed a method to trick honey bees into thinking they have traveled long distance to find food and found this alters gene expression in their brains. Their study is the first to identify distance-responsive genes.
