Tracking humans and Their Microbiomes
As these GEITP pages have continued to emphasize: Multifactorial phenotypes — including complex diseases (e.g. type-2 diabetes, major depressive disorder), quantitative traits (e.g. body mass index, height), drug efficacy and adverse drug reactions, and responses to environmental toxicants (e.g. dioxin, … Continue reading

The vaginal microbiome and preterm birth
As these GEITP pages have continued to emphasize: Multifactorial phenotypes — including complex diseases (e.g. type-2 diabetes, cancer, major depressive disorder), quantitative traits (e.g. height, body mass index), drug efficacy and adverse drug reactions, and responses to environmental toxicants (e.g. … Continue reading

Zeroing in on what actually motivates — learning and motivation
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter molecule that influences brain pathways — involved in motivation, movement, reasoning/perception, and reward-driven learning. How dopamine contributes to such seemingly-unrelated varied behaviors is the topic of this GEITP email. In fact, understanding the biochemical and genetic … Continue reading

Let’s Teach Factual Climate Science In Schools
Let’s Teach Factual Climate Science In Schools Published June 22, 2019 | By Daniel W. Nebert Daniel W. Nebert Twenty-one Oregon teenagers have spent four years urging our federal government to take action on “climate change.” They found themselves back … Continue reading

A catalog of genetic loci associated with kidney function from analyses of a million individuals
One of the GEITP topics is to understand individual response to drugs and other environmental signals including toxicants. This “response” comprises the genetic architecture of each person or lab animal. To break it down further, this “response” includes genetics, epigenetics … Continue reading

Sun spotless for 33 days straight – airline travelers getting dosed with up to 70 times more radiation [than at sea level]
This information does not bode well for predictions of further “global warming” — In fact, the lowered solar activity could cause “global cooling” again. Ugh. Colder, snowier winters..?? ☹ Sun spotless for 33 days straight – airline travelers getting dosed … Continue reading

Transgenic Metarhizium rapidly kills mosquitoes in a malaria-endemic region
Transgenic Metarhizium rapidly kills mosquitoes in a malaria-endemic region Nebert, Daniel (nebertdw) Thu 6/20, 2:07 PM The topic of today’s GEITP article is using a genetically-modified organism (GMO) to control a pest; this is an interesting “gene-environment interactions” type of … Continue reading

Make way for the mouse lemur
As these GEITP pages have frequently described, because of the well-established field of mouse genetics (since early 20th-century) and whole-genome sequncing (WGS) of many sublines, mouse research has remained head-and-shoulders above any other animal model, with regard to extrapolation of … Continue reading

The Polycomb-Dependent Epigenome Controls Beta-Cell Dysfunction, Dedifferentiation, and Diabetes
These GEITP pages have often discussed the fact that complex diseases almost always represent multifactorial phenotypes (traits) — (e.g. hypertension, schizophrenia, mental depressive disorder, cancer, autoimmunity, obesity, and diabetes) — which reflect contributions from genetics (alterations in DNA sequence), epigenetic … Continue reading
