Researchers have figured out important connections between genes and the proteins they encode and have scoured the genome for associations between particular genetic mutations and diseases. (sciencenews.org)
The authors said their results, which they have made publicly available, constitute an invaluable resource to help clinicians predict which chemotherapies will be most effective against tumor cells with particular genetic mutations, and how to rationally combine therapies to prevent cancers from developing resistance.

A recent study involving twins showed that they probably just have a particular genetic mutation that means they require less sleep. (inc.com)
