Genetic differences can affect the swimming behavior of sperm cells, study showsThe behavior of sperm cells is due, in part, to the individual DNA make-up of these cells, rather than only to the genetics of males, finds a team of scientists.
 
 
 Previously unknown links between genetic factors in ASD identified
 
Previously unknown links between genetic factors in ASD identifiedIn a new study published today in Cell Reports, researchers from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute (DKJEI), part of the Krembil Research Institute at University Health Network, have identified previously unknown connections between genetic factors in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
 
 
 MYC proteins form hollow spheres that shield the genome of cancer cells
 
MYC proteins form hollow spheres that shield the genome of cancer cellsMYC genes and their proteins play a central role in the emergence and development of almost all cancers. They drive the uncontrolled growth and altered metabolism of tumour cells. And they help tumours hide from the immune system.
