The study found 1.3 million genetic variations that had not been previously observed in studies of human DNA, which have until now focused mainly on European and Asian genomes. The variations described in the Nature paper should greatly aid scientists' quest to understand which genes increase susceptibility to disease or...
Further, because Tutu's medical records are already public - he is known to have had polio, prostate cancer and TB, all of which are influenced by genes - his genome will help scientists learn more about those diseases, Hayes says.
In a telephone press conference from Namibia, Hayes said the participants' advanced age (all were over 80) makes scientists confident that they are unlikely to carry rare genetic variations that lead to fatal disease, so they can focus on more subtle and common variations. Indeed, one of the participants, a...
Co-author Webb Miller of Pennsylvania State also noted that genetic diversity is a great boon to humanity because "if we didn't have this diversity we might be wiped out by the next major disease." And Hayes expressed frustration that Africans were considered "different" because they diverge from the...
Chijoff-Evans won, 6-2, 6-3, at the No. 1 spot, and was supported by victories by Felton at No. 3, Nguyen at No. 5, and Hayes at No. 6. Omodele-Lucien fell, 6-4, 6-4, at the No. 2 spot, and Tchan lost at No. 4.
