1/8 Prior to marriage... 
2/8 What tests should the bride and groom undergo before marriage to ensure a family life free of "surprises" and stress? Few people realize that infectious diseases can be contracted from their life partner. To prevent this, future spouses must undergo a medical examination.
3/8 By law, individuals entering into marriage must undergo medical examinations for mental health, drug addiction, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS.

#NameAFemaleScientist — Meet #MarthaChase with her groundbreaking work on DNA that challenged the prevailing theory at the time that proteins were genetic material.
Her work laid the foundation for further research into the role of DNA in inheritance and genetic disorders.

Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:
To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:
The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.
1. #Bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the #analysis of #biological #data, such as #sequences, #structures, and #interactions, and is an essential field of modern biology and medicine.
2. #Bioinformatics has many exciting applications in various fields, such as #genetics, #genomics, #proteomics, and #metabolomics, that can provide new insights into the workings of living systems, and can help to advance science and society.

1.) Of all #kidney transplants, half are still lost in the first decade after #transplantation.
Using #genetics 🧬, we probed if interleukin 6 (IL-6) could be a target in kidney #transplantation to improve graft survival & if a genetic risk score could improve prognostication.

2.) Together with @marigaya, @VojtechPetr and colleagues from the @GTCumcg & @researchumcg, we studied the impact of IL6, IL6R, IL10, IL10RA & IL10RB 🧬variants on late graft loss by analyzing both recipient and donor DNA of >1,200 #kidney transplant‐pairs.

It is one of the first few in-vivo #GeneTherapy being tested. Congrats to the $NTLA and $REGN teams.

Two patterns of Twin discordance – All started with data-driven finding of 2 major patterns of MZ twin discordance using a dimensional reduction approach. Thank you @TwinsUKres for pioneering cohort and generosity of your staff, funders and participants! nature.com/articles/s4225…
The discordance patterns suggest two forms of human phenotypic plasticity. Type-A = adipose only | Type B = adipose, lean mass, and #insulin co-discordance. Interestingly, Type B shows far more #epigenetics differences suggesting developmental programming.

What do you think is the biggest disconnect between the clinic and research when it comes to hEDS?
Here are my thoughts:
- many things are “known EDS things” that EDS providers see. But this data often isn’t published or easily accessible by researchers so there is no follow up on why and how those things happen
- many things are “known EDS things” that EDS providers see. But this data often isn’t published or easily accessible by researchers so there is no follow up on why and how those things happen
- genetics often stops with clinical geneticists and doesn’t reach a lab that can follow up with biology
- a lack of continuity of care so patients see multiple specialists that don’t always know the whole picture outside of their speciality, which is then missing from research

A team of marine biologists led by Scripps Oceanography's Amro Hamdoun (@Hamdounlab) has created lines of sea urchins — the marine equivalent of lab rats — that can be used as genetic models using the gene editing technology known as #CRISPR.

Described in a new paper out today in @Dev_journal, the genetic makeup of the #SeaUrchins is fully mapped and can be edited to study human disease genes. The creation of these new research model organisms will accelerate the pace of marine #biomedical research.
Having this new “genetically enabled” sea urchin could dramatically enhance the efficiency, reproducibility, and utility of studies of the developmental origins of diseases.

What are hundreds of skeletons doing at the bottom of a lake in an icy Himalayan wasteland? When the snow melts, it pulls back a frozen curtain, exposing 600-800 skeletons, some 1,200 years old! What spooky secrets does Roopkund Lake in Uttarakhand hold? 1/5 #Archaeology
At an elevation of 5,029 m, Roopkund Lake is very remote. One theory is that these are the remains of a King, his family and attendants, who died here while on a pilgrimage 1,000 years ago. Other theories include fallen soldiers during war and victims of an epidemic. 2/5
The mystery deepened recently, when studies revealed some astonishing results. The deceased were from diverse ethnic groups. More incredible, they belonged to different time periods! This means they did not all die from a single catastrophic event. 3/5

New paper in @ScienceMagazine with @SpicyBotrytis and Jordi Bascompte. We show that a single allele at a single gene can control the coexistence of species in a food web. @UZH_Science @UCDavisPlants @uzh_gcb science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Thread 👇1/9
Over 50 years ago, Bob Paine discovered that starfish act as a keystone species in that their presence in the rocky intertidal food web maintains the coexistence of diverse species. 2/9
Just as certain species can have large ecological effects, so too might certain genes. We experimentally tested the effect of three plant defense genes on the persistence of an insect food web in the lab. 3/9
