What Produces 1:1 Sex Ratio In Humans? A New Genetic Study Looks For Clues
A new paper searches huge human data sets for gene variants that throw the 1:1 sex ratio off balance, and test the biological and theoretical rules of sex ratio.

Researchers In Sweden Identify Gene Variant That Protects Against Covid
Researchers have identified a specific gene variant that protects against severe COVID-19 infection. An international team led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden pinpointed the variant by studying people of different ancestries.

Gene Variant May Drive Hunger For High-Fat Foods
People with a variant of a particular gene prefer high-fat food compared to people without it, said a study Tuesday, suggesting our dietary preferences may be at last partly pre-coded.

Can't Live Without Coffee? Blame Your Genes
Those who metabolize caffeine faster are more likely to drink more of it and the ones with only a couple of the gene variations are less likely to be heavy coffee drinkers than others.

New Genes Linked To Longevity Identified, Says Study
Gene variants linked to cell senescence or biological ageing, autoimmunity, and Alzheimer's disease play an important role in determining whether we would live over 100 years or not, new research has found.
