Gender and age differences found in gene expression related to circadian clock

Medical Xpress

A trio of bioengineering scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has found age and gender differences in gene expression related to the circadian clock. For their paper published in the journal Science, Lorenzo Talamanca, Cédric Gobet and Felix Naef analyzed data obtained for the Genotype-Tissue Expression project.

Nutrigenomics: The Future of Personalized Nutrition

Roots Analysis

According to a study, around 20,000 genes are present in the human body, all of which interact with the nutrients in the food, either directly or indirectly. For instance, carbohydrates increase the expression of genes responsible for the synthesis of enzymes and transporters involved in their metabolism.
