      Hi, I write from Italy I wanted to ask if there is a program to prevent the extinction of the native peoples of South America? in particular peoples Fuegians (paleo-native): Tehuelches (Aonikenk), ONAS (SELKNAM) MAKENENK (HAUSH) Alacalufes (Yamanas) and YAMANES (Yagan). A permanent loss of these people would be a defeat from the point of view of the genetic humanity. also wanted to know if there is still a tribe Pericu (Pericues) located in southern California (cabo san lucas) and if there are Aboriginal people of Tasmania? Through the mitochondrial DNA can occur? We can and must save these ethnic groups. best regards.

    NIH researchers have discovered a defect in DNA replication that can lead to cancer. Check out the cool animation at the end of the story thanks to Howard Hughes Medical Institute. http://qoo.ly/5p48

    Photo: Asterisks highlight solid green PCNA protein that accumulates in cells with a lack of the enzyme ATAD5. The accumulation of protein occurs during stalled DNA replication.

    From our friends at NIH Research Matters, here's a story about how genomic technology detects fetal problems. The new approach might help spot abnormalities that conventional methods can't and allow for better planning for early interventions and prevention of stillbirth. More: http://go.usa.gov/gpTm
