“A new study shows that genetic differences influence how Hispanic Americans metabolize omega-3s. Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study, a type of observational study that searches the genome for minor variations in people's DNA within a particular population.”

“It has been known that circadian rhythm regulates roughly 15% percent of the human genome but the fact that it also can epigenetically change genes, including those in sperm and egg DNA, means that some of these negative health consequences may be passed on to future generations.”

“For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes.”

“FTA: > An analysis of the genomes and epigenomes of lean and obese mice and humans has turned up a wealth of clues about how genes and the environment conspire to trigger diabetes, researchers say.”

“Vitamin D is a hormone that regulates nearly 5% of the human genome and activates anti-inflammatory genes. 32 studies from January 1966 to January 2013 with more than 500,000 participants found that vitamin D blood levels between 40-60 ng/ml were associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.”

“From the article: Data from several genome-wide association studies were used to gauge genetic associations to lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors. [...] According to the analysis: -A genetic predisposition for insomnia was associated with a 24% increased risk for intracranial aneurysm and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.”
