The 8000 years old Tibetian gene mutation !!!
A new study has provided insight into how gene mutation around 8,000 years ago helped Tibetans' to survive in the thin air on the Tibetan Plateau, where an average elevation is of 14,800 feet.A study led by University of Utah scientists is the first to find a genetic cause for the adaptation, a s...Tags: Bioinformatics, Genome, Adaptation, Mutation, EGLN1, Gene, Tibetans

Breaking chromosomes to study cancer !!!
Chromosomes are present in every cell of our body and they contain the information the body needs to develop and function properly. This information is carried in genes that are arranged along the chromosomes. There are usually 46 chromosomes in every cell. These chromosomes come in pairs, one fr...Tags: Bioinformatics, Chromosome, Breaks, Translocation
