Healthy diet? That depends on your genes
Shifts in the diets of Europeans after the introduction of farming 10,000 years ago led to genetic adaptations that favored the dietary trends of the time, new research indicates. The study has implications for the growing field of nutritional genomics, called nutrigenomics.

Overall Health Affected By Viruses In The Human Gut And Their Dynamic Response To Diet
The digestive system is home to a myriad of viruses, but how they are involved in health and disease is poorly understood. In a study published online in Genome Research, researchers have investigated the dynamics of virus populations in the human gut, shedding new light on the gut “virome” and how it differs between people and responds to changes in diet…

Trichinosis Parasite Gets DNA Decoded
Scientists have decoded the DNA of the parasitic worm that causes trichinosis, a disease linked to eating raw or undercooked pork or carnivorous wild game animals, such as bear and walrus. After analyzing the genome, investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St…
