"This [research] confirms something we have long suspected, namely that the effects of sleep deprivation are not general in nature, but rather depend on the specific task and the genes of the person performing the task," said Prof Paul Whitney. buff.ly/2DfHfl0

Human deafness gene also found to help zebrafish sense water movement. The work has revealed more about the mechanisms underlying genetic deafness. buff.ly/2kZZ4Mw

Researchers have shown that alterations to the structure of the genome can lead to phenotypic changes. Large chunks of the genome were sequenced to reveal these complex mutations. buff.ly/2l4nkx1

While over 200 genes are involved in the natural process of creating heart cells from stem cells, scientists have found a far more direct approach to achieve the same result. This research is expected to advance research and clinical therapeutics. buff.ly/2kVODdB
