New York: Two decades after the successful completion of the Human Genome Project , an international group of researchers has now sequenced 64 human genomes at high resolution. This reference data includes individuals from all over the world to better capture the genetic diversity of the human species. Among other applications, the work, published in the journal Science , enables population-specific studies on genetic predispositions to human diseases as well as the discovery of more complex forms of genetic variation . In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium announced the first draft of the human genome reference sequence. The Human Genome Project, as it was called, had taken more than 11 years of work and involved more than 1,000 scientists from 40 countries. This reference, however, did not represent a single individual but instead was a composite of humans, and that approach could not accurately capture the complexity of human genetic ... » Learn More about 64 full human genomes sequenced at high-resolution

A few strands of wire is all that separates Peter Srzich from millions of dollars. His 2 hectare property has a house, some sheds and a few pigs and goats. It is directly opposite the $5.3 billion Western Sydney airport, due to open at Badgerys Creek in 2026. Next door is the Leppington Pastoral Company — one of Australia's largest dairy farms, situated on a 519ha property owned by brothers Ron and Tony Perich. Photo: A satellite image of Badgerys Creek and its surrounds. That simple wire fence divides two worlds. The Leppington Pastoral Company will be redeveloped as ... » Learn More about Western Sydney Aerotropolis land values are soaring, but not everyone is able to cash in

Fake news could be injurious to health
Along with the Hippocratic oath, the MBBS curriculum has a mantra: bar God, all must provide data. A good physician treats patients based on scientific principles derived from solid evidence. The physician’s personal experience may embellish or temper these principles, but should not be ‘contrary’ to them. In India, the mantra of scientific data and evidence is often not the basis of beliefs. The attraction of alternative, unscientific treatment methods has been irresistible. Aided by social media, ‘cure-mongers’, ‘quacks’ and ‘diet gurus’ issue medical diktats. Some are confused, and others believe them. One hoax relates to chronic diseases such as diabetes. The lure of a complete cure is greater than boring, often predictable medical advice. In addition, the effort needed to sustain lifestyle changes often pushes people to ‘miracle remedies’ that free them from lifelong restrictions. ‘Claims’ on social media Social media is flooded with claims that diabetes can be reversed or ... » Learn More about Fake news could be injurious to health
