Showing results for "DNA" in Physical Illness & Disease

Around 250,000 people have had their genomes sequenced, and scientists expect that number to rise to one billion by 2025. Professor Steven J. Heine argues that the first thing we will do on receiving our DNA test results is to misinterpret them completely. Despite breathless (often lightly researched) media coverage about newly discovered "cancer" or "divorce" or "IQ" genes, the prospect of a DNA test forecasting how your life is going to turn out is vanishingly small.

In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. Copeland explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story.

In November 2018, the world was shocked to learn that two babies had been born in China with DNA edited while they were embryos - as dramatic a development in genetics as the cloning of Dolly the sheep was in 1996. In this book, Hank Greely, a leading authority on law and genetics, tells the fascinating story of this human experiment and its consequences. Greely explains what Chinese scientist He Jiankui did, how he did it, and how the public and other scientists learned about and reacted to this unprecedented genetic intervention.

The DNA Restart, by world-renowned neurogeneticist and New York Times best-selling author Dr. Sharon Moalem, walks you through revolutionary steps to a diet and lifestyle perfect for your individual genetic makeup. The DNA Restart plan utilizes decades of in-depth scientific research into genetics, epigenetics, nutrition, and longevity to explain the pivotal role genes play in the journey to ideal weight and health status.

In this book, biotechnology entrepreneur and CEO of The DNA Company Kashif Khan offers an action plan to help you live your best life. It starts by understanding your genetic makeup.

The science of epigenetics has been scientifically proven to give anyone the power to change the expressions of their genes. Genes can be altered by either the external environmental or internal mental and emotional signals without altering the gene sequence itself. The protocols in this book take a person through the step-by-step process of doing it. By using the detailed processes given, anyone can send new signals to their genes to produce and manufacture the different proteins to restore health, gain new strength, and extend life expectancy.

Since 2010, it has been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable genetic disease". As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices.

As dramatic as The Double Helix and as absorbing as The Soul of a New Machine, Natural Obsessions explores the advanced reaches of molecular biology, the nature of the human cell, and the genes that control cancer. It unforgettably portrays some of the best young scientists in the world, the rewards and discouragements of scientific research, and the very process of scientific inquiry.

What is DNA anyway? Should I consider genetic testing? Can my genes tell my future? All Access DNA honestly answers the questions you have about genetics, healthcare, and popular issues in precision medicine as it relates to our daily lives. We may even veer into territory that is no longer science fiction but science reality. Host Kate Wilson utilizes her genetic expertise and experience to interview leaders and specialists in genomic medicine and research.

Una piccola sigla, un mondo di significati: il DNA è una risorsa contro le malattie, uno strumento per identificare gli assassini e una chiave per comprendere il comportamento umano. La sua storia è talmente antica da intrecciarsi con quella della comparsa della vita sulla Terra. E in futuro? Proviamo a parlarne direttamente con lui. Dalla genetica di Neandertal alla clonazione di esseri umani, metteremo a fuoco speranze (e timori) che grazie al DNA si aprono per la scienza e per le nostre esistenze.

Fünf Jahre nach der Gründung der Allianz Kommunaler Großkrankenhäuser e.V. stehen die Krankenhäuser vor wegweisenden Weichenstellungen. Die AKG-Kliniken haben sich als konstruktive Stimme in der deutschen Gesundheitspolitik etabliert. Schrittweise wachsen die Mitglieder im alltäglichen Austausch und gemeinsamen Projekten zusammen. Aus dem Benchmarkverein ist eine lebendige und kreative Gemeinschaft entstanden. Was aber hält die großen kommunalen Krankenhäuser zusammen und welche Faktoren machen aus einem Verein nach Außen und nach Innen eine erfolgreiche Einheit? Darüber sprechen ...

Shortly before his father's death, Lennard Davis received a cryptic call from his uncle Abie, who said he had a secret he wanted to tell him one day. When finally revealed, the secret - that Abie himself was Davis's father, via donor insemination - seemed too preposterous to be true. Born in 1949, Davis wasn't even sure that artificial insemination had existed at that time. Moreover, his uncle was mentally unstable, an unreliable witness to the past. Davis tried to erase the whole episode from his mind.

The world is a giant experimental lab for the GMO chemists. They have bought the elected representatives who have allowed them to write laws to benefit themselves and no one else. They ban independent scientific research because they know the negative outcomes. They have sued farmers who planted non-GMO crops that were damaged by GMO crops nearby. They have cost the farmers of America millions of dollars, if not billions, in foreign sales.
