Scientists create mice with two fathers after making eggs from male cells | Genetics
Scientists have created mice with two biological fathers by generating eggs from male cells, a development that opens up radical new possibilities for reproduction. The advance could ultimately pave the way for treatments for severe forms of infertility, as well as raising the tantalising prospect of same-sex couples being able to have a biological child …
Genetically predicted height linked to risk for several common health conditions

Large-scale study finds genetic testing technology falsely detects very rare variants
A technology that is widely used by commercial genetic testing companies is “extremely unreliable” in detecting very rare variants, meaning results suggesting individuals carry rare disease-causing genetic variants are usually wrong, according to new research published in the BMJ. After hearing of cases where women had surgery scheduled after wrongly being told they had very …

Genetics Differences Explain Inconsistent Alzheimer’s Diagnoses
Currently used methods for detecting amyloid pathology in Alzheimer’s disease do not give unambiguous results, with the risk of incorrect or delayed care interventions. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have found genetic explanations for the differences. The study is published in Molecular Psychiatry and may be important for more individual diagnostics and the development …
The Impact of Genetics on COVID-19 Treatments
Over the past few months, a number of drugs have been under investigation to treat COVID-19 without well-established safety or data to support these claims. However, some of these unproven therapies may have underlying genetic reasons for not being effective and resulting in fatal adverse effects as found with hydroxychloroquine.University of Minnesota College of …
Farmer investment in technology boosts revenue for dairy herd genetics co-op
“New Zealand dairy farmers are becoming world leaders in precision farming – they are using cost-effective, innovative solutions to get more value on-farm and ultimately do more with less. “This was also evident in the 2018-19 Dairy Statistics with farmers achieving record milk production while cow numbers continue to decline,” said King. “This is good …
