But hibernators seem able to use genes in the FTO locus in new ways to their advantage. The team identified hibernator-specific DNA regions that are near the FTO locus and that regulate the activity ...

The team identified hibernator-specific DNA regions that are near the FTO locus and that regulate the activity of neighboring genes, tuning them up or down. The researchers speculate that adjusting ...

Awakening human potential Most of the hibernator-associated changes in the genome appeared to "break" the function of specific pieces of DNA, rather than confer a new function.

The team identified hibernator-specific DNA regions that are near the FTO locus and that regulate the activity of neighboring genes, tuning them up or down. The researchers speculate that ...

A research team has investigated the genetic mechanisms underlying hibernation, but what could this research mean for human ...

The creature, an Arctic ground squirrel, was just hibernating, as it does for up to eight months of the year. During that span, the animal's internal temperature falls to below 27 degrees ...

The “superpowers” of hibernating animals are also present in human DNA, according to a pair of recent studies that provide clues to unlocking this potential and opening the door for new diabetes and ...
