Genetics and academic success at university
From time to time, these GEITP pages feature one or another genome-wide association study (GWAS). A genotype-phenotype association can be virtually anything that the scientific group decides to study. In the present case, genes [examining several million single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) … Continue reading

When Adolescents Give Up Pot, Their Cognition Quickly Improves
This article [yesterday on the National Public Radio (NPR) web site] just confirms further what some have been saying about Cannabis (marijuana; most active ingredient is tetrahydrocannabinol) for at least the past decade. First, there was evidence in mice, then … Continue reading

Interindividual variation in DNA-methylation identifies environmentally responsive co-regulated networks of epigenetic variation in human genome
During the last two decades of genome-wide sequencing, millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or variants (SNVs), copy-number variants (CNVs), and other types of sequence variations have been identified. These human genome maps have now served as catalysts for thousands of … Continue reading

Ancestral polymorphisms explain the role of chromosomal inversions in speciation (when a new species is created)
Charles Darwin was among the first to recognize that –– if a species separates into two geographically distinct niches and undergoes a sufficient number of generations –– the two separate groups will become independent species, no longer able to breed … Continue reading

Molecular archaeoparasitology identifies cultural changes in the Medieval Era
Intestinal parasites have afflicted humans throughout history and remain common in parts of the developing world. Prior to today’s improvements in hygiene and medicine, gut parasites during the 18th century were prevalent throughout the world, which makes them an intriguing … Continue reading

The feasibility of asbestos bioremediation
If the topic in these Superfund Research Program (SRP) monthly summaries falls within “bioremediation,” these GEITP pages believe this is close enough to ‘gene-environment interactions’ to warrant the summary as an important, exciting, and valuable teaching item. DwN Siderophores Reduce … Continue reading

Molecular regulation of carcinogenesis
This brief review [see attached] is a very crisp and excellent article, summarizing the fundamental causes of and treatments for the process of carcinogenesis. For what it’s worth, one of the coauthors is my scientific child (FJG), and two of … Continue reading

Joachim Ronneberg Dies at Age 99
J By Robert D. McFadden · Oct. 22, 2018 The Norwegian saboteurs skied across the Telemark pine forest in winter whites, phantom apparitions gliding over moonlit snow. They halted at a steep river gorge and gazed down at a humming … Continue reading

Fake News Comes to Academia
Not one, but two, of GEITP’s faithful readers contributed this article [from the Wall Street Journal, online Tues evening Oct 2nd, out in print Wed Oct 3rd] –– suggesting to me that I share this with all GEITP email recipients. … Continue reading

Evolution of carcinogenesis
For those interested in cancer and, specifically, the history of cancer, you might find this brief fascinating review [attached] of interest. And for any of you who might not look at the South African Journal of Science on a regular … Continue reading
