Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team led by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health developed a new approach to analyze genetic data from tens of thousands of families. The study, published this Tuesday in Cell Genomics, found that for height, body weight, and school test performance, the environment shaped by our parents' genes can be nearly as important as the genes we actually inherited from them.

The Mt. Juliet Police Department has added another K-9 unit to its force.

The United States has three group-stage matches scheduled at two stadiums on the West Coast.

It is difficult to identify funerary practices in Iron Age (c. 800 BC–AD 43) Britain, as human remains rarely survive. However, evidence is particularly prominent in north-west Scotland, because environmental conditions support the preservation of bone. To take advantage of this, a team of researchers from the U.K. and U.S. examined two individuals (one adult female and one juvenile male) buried in a low stone cairn at Loch Borralie in Sutherland, close to the north-west extremity of the Scottish mainland.

Many animals live in groups. Among seabirds in particular, most species form colonies during the breeding season. Although coloniality entails costs, such as increased competition for food and disease transmission, its repeated evolution across animal lineages suggests that group living provides important benefits.

An international research team has identified dozens of new genetic risk factors linked to lumbar spinal stenosis, a common degenerative condition of the lower spine. The study, led by researchers at the University of Oulu, provides new insight into the biological mechanisms behind one of the most frequent causes of mobility problems in older adults. The work was published in the journal Nature Communications.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- New security measures are on the way for upcoming community events in Columbus, after a group of teens caused chaos at St. Catharine Fun Fest last Friday night, forcing police to shut it down. The Columbus arts festival kicks off this Friday. It's one of the largest visual arts festivals in [...]

Long before New York became known for world-class wine regions and vineyard tourism, one winery in the Hudson Valley was already making history.

The time-development of species communities cannot be understood solely through ecological interactions or environmental factors, as evolution can also alter community dynamics. This observation helps to understand, among other things, the consequences of antibiotic resistance.
