| |  | | |  It seems that chewing gum is not a new trend! Researchers have found chewing gum that is 5,700 years old and it has provided clues regarding ancient DNA. A study with the findings was published in the journal Nature Communications. It is titled, “A 5,700-year-old human genome and oral microbiome from chewed birch pitch.” | | | | |  A new study published in the journal Nature Communications shows that it may be possible to reverse gene mutations that cause brain disorders, using a very precisely targeted epigenome editing technique. This type of gene editing does not change the gene’s DNA sequence itself but is focused on correcting epigenome changes only. | | | | |  Using a targeted gene epigenome editing approach in the developing mouse brain, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers reversed one gene mutation that leads to the genetic disorder WAGR syndrome, which causes intellectual disability and obesity in people. | | | | |  A study of patient samples has found that more than a quarter of genes are missed in genetic sequencing procedures. This could mean the genetic disorder detection could be flawed, say the researchers. The results of the new study titled, "Clinical Exome Studies Have Inconsistent Coverage," have been published in the latest issue of the journal Clinical Chemistry. | |
