It’s Friday again, and time for a new Genome Engineering game. There has been a rumour that the gene for red hair is dying out – it isn’t, it’s just a recessive gene, so the hair colour is easily hidden by other dominant hair colour genes. This means both parents must have the gene to make red-haired or ginger kids. Your task in Ginger Dawn is to help boost the redhead population by spreading the lurve and creating as many ‘Ginger babies’ as possible.Read Full Story

A large-scale epigenetic study of common diseases in twins, particularly those discordant for a disease, may provide new targets for therapy.
" Identical twins and epigenetics are the ideal partners because we know there's both genetic effects and environmental effects," says Timothy Spector of King's College London. "In non-twin populations, you'd have to do studies that were perhaps 10 to 20 times as large to find the same results."
