Eat your way to better DNA

Article Abstract:

Nutrigenomics is the study of how genes and nutrients interact to promote health or disease. This field includes understanding how gene and protein expression are affected by the presence or absence of specific nutrients, whether and how diet-regulated genes play a role in disease, the degree to which an individual's diet affects the risk of disease given his or her genetics and whether one's diet might be altered to maintain that balance between health and disease.

Fifty years with double-stranded RNA

Article Abstract:

Alexander Rich, who discovered RNA hybridization in 1956 and the other double helix, describes its importance to biology. The simple hybridization reaction has made possible most of the molecular biological revolution. The human use of hybridization to understand biology and harness it for both biological and nonbiological tasks will continue to develop.
