AG Chris Carr urges Georgians to ‘strongly consider’ deleting 23andMe accounts
23andMe's bankruptcy raises urgent concerns about genetic data privacy. A local expert explains what protections exist and what users should do now to protect their DNA.

TDP-43 deficiency slows proliferation and impairs DNA repair response. Authors show this comes because of dysregulation of R loops (3 strand RNA/DNA structures) and 5hmC (hydroxymethylcytosine, oxidized DNA methylation): some genes more, some less 🧬 #Genesky ¾
