Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

New genetic research shows a simple genetic test can predict who’s most at risk for obesity, offering hope for early prevention, but also raises tough questions about genetic fairness and healthcare ...
