“Now, researchers from UC San Diego and their colleagues have found that HPV DNA hybridizes with human DNA genes in oropharyngeal cancer cells, forming extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) that promotes tumor growth.” #dna #isogg #epigenetics #mutations #geneadons #cancer #HPV

today.ucsd.eduHuman and HPV Genes Combine to Form Extrachromosomal DNA That Promotes Oropharyngeal Tumor GrowthHPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers are becoming more common. A new study finds that human and HPV DNA hybridize in cancer cells, creating extrachromosomal DNA which drives the growth of tumors.

"In 2019, researchers introduced the world to a woman born in rural Angostura, Colombia, who, like so many of her relatives, carried the PSEN1 mutation. But unlike them, she did not develop Alzheimer’s disease by the age of 50. Even at 72, she was barely showing symptoms."

Just another reason not to travel on planes.

I knew someone (a travel agent) that flew extensively. Sure enough, he died of cancer.

You are going to be exposed to more Cosmic Rays when flying than will hit you when you stay on the ground.

Many #RareDiseases can be traced back to rare genetic #mutations, that then allow to understand what went wrong. Problem: to detect such mutations in "noisy" genomes, large genome collections are necessary - which are available now! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08623-w

NatureRare disease gene association discovery in the 100,000 Genomes Project - NatureA rare variant burden analytical framework for Mendelian diseases was developed and applied to data from the 100,000 Genomes Project, identifying 69 probable new disease–gene associations.

The U.S. Is Not Ready for Bird Flu in Humans

Bird flu is infecting more people than we think. We need to stop it now before a new pandemic begins

Right after President Donald Trump took office, amid the flurry of executive orders and agency upheavals, the administration told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention not to release any reports or communications until one of Trump’s people could take a look at them. Among the many reports not released that week was a study on how many veterinarians had gotten bird flu.
