It is estimated that until now, nearly 87 of genomic research of this type has been conducted in Europeans.

Failing to account for genetic variation according to ancestry will impact the ability to accurately diagnose diabetes, researchers have said. Ethnic diversity in one large-scale study meant more regions of the genome linked to type 2 diabetes-related traits were identified than if the research had been conducted in Europeans alone, scientists suggested. Experts said the findings demonstrated that expanding research into different ancestries yielded more and better results, as well as ultimatel...

Austin 360 March has once again served as an annual opportunity to celebrate the contributions of women to American culture and history.  In recognition of the tireless effort of women in the Central Texas hospitality industry, below is a list of local restaurants owned and/or operated primarily by women. Of course, ownership, partnerships and management teams are complicated, and the list doesn’t cover a host of husband-and-wife teams (Asia Market Eatery, Asti, Baguette et Chocolate, Dee D...

 E-Mail People with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that affects mood and perception of reality, are almost three times more likely to die from the coronavirus than those without the psychiatric illness, a new study shows. Their higher risk, the investigators say, cannot be explained by other factors that often accompany serious mental health disorders, such as higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, and smoking. Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the investigation showe...

Date Time HKU Engineering scholar reveals in first global study hugely uneven urbanization among large cities Distribution of large cities in the world with greening built-up area (BUA), and greening built-up areas in Yangtze River Delta (YRD) city cluster The world has experienced dramatic urbanization in recent decades. According to the latest report from the United Nations (UN), the global population in 2018 was 7.6 billion and the urban population was 4.2 billion. By 2050, the global popul...
