Study finds genes influence cats' response to disease medication
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Cats develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which causes the heart muscle to thicken. As the illness progresses, cats can develop blood clots in their hearts, which can dislodge and cause excruciating pain, anxiety, or even death.

Scientists study 155 new genes to see how humans continue to evolve
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Nearly 7 million years ago, modern humans diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors, yet we have since continued to evolve. Within the human lineage, 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA have been discovered. A handful of these "microgenes" are projected
