Genetic Coevolution: Transposable Elements and their Impact on Disease Development in Humans

Gillian K. McNeil - Transposable elements (TEs), also referred to as ‘jumping genes’, are sequences of DNA located in the eukaryotic genome that have the ability to mobilize. This functional mobilization allows TEs to insert at random positions throughout the genome. It is... Keep Reading »

The Keto Diet and Long-Term Weight Loss: Is it a Safe Option?

Natalya F. Giroux - The ketogenic diet, or keto diet for short, is a fad diet that has gained significant attention in recent years as a popular weight loss approach. The diet is characterized by a depletion of carbohydrates which in turn place the body in a state called ketosis. In this... Keep Reading »

Studying Ancient DNA to Understand Contemporary Disease

Wafaa Khatau - The study of DNA and genetics has always been a large mystery to many scientists. The current Ancient DNA (aDNA) research on human history is more complex than what can be inferred from modern DNA research. Scientists and researchers are constantly using modern day... Keep Reading »

Genetics, Pathology, & Potential Future Advances in the Study of Huntington's Disease

Matthew D. Rose - Huntington’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects around five people in every 100,000. It is caused by an increase in a polyglutamine region of the Huntingtin protein, resulting in a toxic gain of function mutation. However, the exact... Keep Reading »

Spatial Analysis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in South Carolina

Joshua E. Sellner - Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) are both parts of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) family and are lifelong disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Both diseases are very similar in their clinical symptoms, which consists of bloody diarrhea... Keep Reading »
