Endosymbiosis: Past and present

Article Abstract:

Wolbachia sp. genome analysis that could provide new potential drug targets and shed light on endosymbiont evolution is discussed. The bacteria may be essential for their nematode hosts in contrast to the case of many arthropods in which Wolbachia are considered parasitic and can be removed by the use of antibiotics.

Medical genetics: Revenge of the thrift

Article Abstract:

The issue regarding genetics underlying on why some rodents are more prone than others to diabetes caused by a high-energy diet is described. It is revealed that the one major gene variant may initiate Type II diabetes in humans is less clearly supported.
