In this study, a team of researchers led by Dr. David Threadgill of North
Carolina State University utilized mouse genetics to aid the search for
candidate genes linked to acetaminophen-induced liver injury in humans. “We
approached the study from the perspective that drugs are used in very
heterogeneous patient populations, and that drug-induced toxicities are likely
the result of a person’s genetic makeup,” …
“Can genetics map onto electronics–is it ready to go into the garage shop in a
hobbyist sense?” said Church. “That’s the question she’s asking, and I think
that’s a very big, profound question… There seems to be a very deep and
growing curiosity about genetics that might dwarf electronics. No matter how

Mullis told an audience of students and faculty at San Jose State University
(SJSU) during a lecture last week that he was confident with his current
development of a flu treatment …
Thinner people appeared to have more brown fat than heavier people; younger
people more than older people; people with lower glucose levels, presumably
reflecting higher metabolic rates, had more than those whose metabolisms were
more sluggish; and women had more than men …
