Environmental Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease.
Many features of the environment have been found to exert an important influence on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, progression, and severity. Changes in the environment because of migration to different geographic locations, modifications in lifestyle choices, and shifts in social policies and cultural practices alter CVD risk, even in the absence of genetic changes. Nevertheless, the cumul...
متن کاملHarnessing genomics for evolutionary insights.
Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies can generate unprecedented amounts of genomic data, even for non-model organisms. Here we describe how these new technologies have facilitated recent key advances in ecology and evolutionary biology, and highlight several outstanding ecological and evolutionary questions that are distinctly suited to the innovations they provide. Importantly, using th...
متن کاملGenomics and evolution of heritable bacterial symbionts.
Insect heritable symbionts have proven to be ubiquitous, based on molecular screening of various insect lineages. Recently, molecular and experimental approaches have yielded an immensely richer understanding of their diverse biological roles, resulting in a burgeoning research literature. Increasingly, commonalities and intermediates are being discovered between categories of symbionts once co...
متن کاملEnvironmental genomics: a key to understanding biology, pathophysiology and disease.
Recent advances in human and molecular genetics provide an unparalleled opportunity to understand how genes and genetic changes interact with environmental stimuli to either preserve health or cause disease. The fields of environmental genetics and environmental genomics has enormous potential to affect our ability to accurately assess the risk of developing disease, identify and understand bas...
متن کامل"Harnessing genomics to improve health in India" – an executive course to support genomics policy
BACKGROUND: The benefits of scientific medicine have eluded millions in developing countries and the genomics revolution threatens to increase health inequities between North and South. India, as a developing yet also industrialized country, is uniquely positioned to pioneer science policy innovations to narrow the genomics divide. Recognizing this, the Indian Council of Medical Research and th...
