Dating of hominins living in Denisova Cave (southeastern Siberia)
These GEITP pages have often discussed evolution and dispersal (migration) of hominins (i.e. any species of early human that is more closely related to humans than chimpanzees — including modern human) during the past 6 million years. The time period … Continue reading

Genome-wide analysis of INSOMNIA in more than 1 million individuals !!!
These GEITP pages have often discussed genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWAS are studies in which some phenotype (trait) is selected to be studied, and then thousands of individuals’ genomes are screened for statistically significant genetic loci associated with that selected … Continue reading

How a scientist’s disputed views about pollution may change EPA
By popular demand from more than several GEITP’ers, I am sharing the Tues Feb 19th front-page article in the Los Angeles Times. Often we at GEITP have chatted about Ed Calabrese and his uncovering of the fraud surrounding the Biological … Continue reading

Plant defense: A phytolexin (kiwellin-1) blocks metabolic activity of fungal virulence factor
This topic is an excellent gene-environment interactions example. Attack of a fungus (environmental signal) on the host (a corn plant) results in genes (responding to the environmental signal) that mobilize a chemical (kiwellin-1) to defend itself against the invading fungus. … Continue reading

How can we optimally integrate Behavioral Medicine into Clinical Genetics and Genomics??
As a human geneticist, I have always been interested ethical behavior, i.e. in how each individual patient might agree to undergoing a particular “genetic test” versus refusing to have such a test — based on many factors (age, gender, trait … Continue reading

Possible function found for intronic RNA segments (in yeast) ???
The present GEITP topic here is something that might revolutionize our thinking about RNA processing in all eukaryotes (i.e. organisms such as yeast or human having chromosomal pairs, as opposed to prokaryotes such as bacteria that have single unpaired chromosomes). … Continue reading

Can Big Science Be Too Big?
This article is from the Science section of the New York Times this last week. I had the “gut feeling” that this was true, but now we have an actual mathematically quantifiable study to demonstrate this conclusion. DwN A new … Continue reading

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor: an environmental sensor integrating immune responses in health and disease
As these GEITP pages have discussed previously, the ligand-activated transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), is one of 110 members of the human BHLH gene superfamily of sensors that continuously monitor incoming signals (both exogenous and endogenous i.e. from both … Continue reading

Two or more diet beverages a day is linked to high risk of stroke, heart attacks
Two or more diet beverages a day is linked to high risk of stroke, heart attacks Nebert, Daniel (nebertdw) For a change-of-pace on these GEITP pages, below is a perplexing article today from CNN_News.com, describing an epidemiology study. Needless to … Continue reading
