Einstein’s quotes — which ones are true and which are not?
This (somewhat tongue-in-cheek-humorous) one-page book report –– about “which quotes REALLY DID originate from Einstein, and which ones are attributed falsely to him?” [attached] is worth sharing with all GEITP’ers. Beyond his towering contributions to Physics, Albert Einstein was an … Continue reading

Evolutionary origin of mitochondria predates the origin of Alphaproteobacteria
Mitochondria are known as the “energy factories” of most (animal) cells. Earliest bacteria that had originated on the planet do not have mitochondria, and have only one chromosome (haploid, seen in all prokaryotes) rather than chromosome-pairs (diploid, seen in all … Continue reading

The Post-GWAS Era: From Association to Function
After the discovery of the structure of DNA and the genetic code in the early 1950s, the field of human genetics was largely focused on understanding the structure and function of protein-coding genes and how rare mutations in these genes … Continue reading

The Rise of Zebrafish as a Model for Toxicology
The emergence of The Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Model for biomedical research began in the 1960s at the University of Oregon in Eugene, largely due to the pioneering work of George Streisinger and coworkers. They systematically determined the conditions necessary to … Continue reading

A new understanding as to why mutation rates vary among species
MUTATIONS (i.e. alterations in DNA nucleotides in the haploid genome, base-pairs in the diploid genome) occur when cells copy their DNA incorrectly, or fail to repair damage from chemicals (endogenous or exogenous) or radiation (environmental effects). Some mistakes are beneficial, … Continue reading

Cis-regulatory structural variants, inherited from the father, are associated with autism
Within just this last week, these GEITP pages included several email chats about “the increasing incidence/frequency of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)” among young children, not only in the U.S. but also in countries such as South Korea. Genome-wide association studies … Continue reading

Systematic analysis of complex genetic (GxG, GxGxG) interactions
Today, innumerable genomes (many human ethni groups, other mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and lower organisms such as worm, fly, sea squirt, sponge, yeast and bacteria) have been sequenced (by means of whole-genome sequencing; WGS), and the precise number of “genes” … Continue reading
