Un equipo internacional en el que participa Roderic Guigó, del Centro de Regulación Genómica de Barcelona, ha elaborado el mapa más detallado hasta la fecha de los enhancers, o potenciadores, regiones del ADN que controlan los genes humanos y que funcionan como reguladores de intensidad. En el trabajo, desarrollado por el consorcio ENCODE, se han trazado más de 92 millones de posibles interacciones entre estos reguladores y los genes sobre los que actúan en distintas células y tejidos. Esta información puede ser importante para comprender las enfermedades, ya que buena parte de las variantes genéticas que se han asociado a trastornos comunes no se encuentran dentro de los propios genes, sino en regiones reguladoras. El estudio se publica en Nature.
The wildfire in Los Gallardos (Almería), which broke out on Thursday evening, has so far claimed 13 lives. Initial investigations suggest that a fallen power line may have been the cause of the fire. The blaze has burnt more than 3,000 hectares and has left 1,400 people displaced.
The year 2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the first calendar year in which the global average temperature exceeded its pre-industrial level by 1.5 °C, the Copernicus Climate Change Service has confirmed.
A series on breastfeeding published today in The Lancet highlights the economic and political power of formula companies, examines their marketing practices and the impact this has on the health of mothers and children.
Research with 11 lactating women vaccinated against covid-19 has found small amounts of mRNA from the vaccine in breast milk, undetectable 48 hours later.
A study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment (from Nature Research) estimates that a reduction of 686 million tonnes of carbon emissions could be achieved each year if the world followed a cycling pattern similar to that of the Netherlands (2.6 kilometres per day). This is about 20 % of the carbon emissions produced by the global passenger car fleet in 2015.
