A flipped section of the Y chromosome may put men at risk of infertility, especially as they age – a finding that may help at-risk individuals take steps to preserve their fertility.
A test that traces both the genetic and epigenetic origins of DNA in our blood could be used for prenatal genetic testing, monitoring transplant rejection and detecting hidden cancers.
Animal domestication and industrialisation in human populations have impacted gut microbiota in related ways, likely through similar ecological changes.
COVID-19 survivors, particularly those with heart disease or diabetes, may have an increased risk of blood clots or strokes due to prolonged immune response.
