                    [Summary] => 

Wild tilapias in seven lakes of the country show a high percentage of genetic introgression and low genetic diversity, according to a study conducted by the University of the Philippines-Diliman.

The largest-ever genome sequencing project is the newest weapon in the Alzheimer’s battle. This new project will examine the genetic codes of more than 800 people, generating more than 165 terabytes — 165,000 gigabytes — of new information about Alzheimer’s disease and its genetic roots.

Genealogy is the study of families and tracing of their lineages and history. Studying one’s genealogy may be motivated by many reasons such as 1) in determining a family’s place in national history; 2) in preserving the family’s past for future generations; and 3) in contributing to the “storytelling” of the events that had passed so many years before.
