Beauty May Not Lie in the Eye of the Beholder – It May Lie in Genetics

Why do we find certain faces "beautiful" and certain faces not? A new study suggests that specific genetic variants may be linked to individuals that are viewed as more "beautiful", and that these variants differ between the sexes.

Genome Editing Database Helps Researchers Pull Together to Advance Agriculture

The Boyce Thompson Institute's Plant Genome Editing Database has been created by scientists to encourage sharing of data from experiments where CRISPR/Cas9 technology, along with other approaches to gene editing, have been used to study economically important traits in plants. We spoke to Zhangjun Fei and David Stern from the institute to learn more.

Proteogenomics, Precision Medicine and Oncology

Major advances have occurred in the fields of proteomics and genomics over recent years. Now, scientists are utilizing the technologies from each approach collectively in a novel research area named proteogenomics. We spoke with Alexzander Asea, Professor and Director at Precision Therapeutics Proteogenomics Diagnostics Center, University of Toledo, to learn more about the applications of proteogenomics in precision medicine.

Genetic Mutation Results in Inability to Feel Pain

A woman in Scotland can feel virtually no pain due to a mutation in a previously-unidentified gene. By understanding the gene's function, researchers may be able to develop gene therapy techniques for pain, anxiety, PTSD and even wound healing.

Calculating Gestational Age With Metabolomics

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that may offer an alternative to relying on ultrasound information for calculating gestational age. The model, utilizing a "metabolomic fingerprint" approach, may overcome barriers in preterm death research.

A Potential Role for Sperm in Repeat Miscarriages

In a new study, researchers analyze the potential role that sperm DNA damage may have in recurrent pregnancy loss.
