Someone said I was balding so I changed my hairstyle.

You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family

Why do humans care so much about physical appearances?

What genes are responsible for this? I guess other animals have the same perceptive but people nowadays take it to another level

What would you genetically change about humans to make them a better species?

Is anyone interested in aquarium fish hybridisation? Or how about onion selective breeding? Perhaps regaining garlic's sexual fertility? Exotic fruit growing in cold winter regions?... Believe me, I'm not trying to induce an apocalypse, I'm just a humble INTP...

What are the odds?

I've seen a lot of genetic mutations both from the past and now that (no offence) are more downgrades like having only half your body, being born with really fast growing hair. But then there are the bad wons that are more dangerous like immunity to pain, naturally buff from birth or stuff like… read more

Aging

Imagine if we learned how to reverse tissue aging. Restore muscles, digestive health, neural health, and bone health back to a young adult body. Not immortality per say, but preventing the body from degrading over time. People would still get sick or killed from natural causes, but their lives… (edited) read more

Hypothesis. Maybe humans developed a bad mutation of some sort that changed them maintaining balance with nature Maybe from viruses. Could explain the rapid change from a more hunter gather species to agricultural and industrial. Viruses can carry genetic information from the last host into the new.

Maybe we should engineer fetus in fetu then we would never be alone and wouldn't die alone!! Lol I think I'm subconsciously running a psychology experiment on who likes based on gif lol (edited)

What special genes do actors or famous singers have?

What are some genetic facts about humans or animals that might of shocked you at first?

Hey, you know which nucleotidic diversity indexes are more suitable for population genetics?

I'm nee in a population diversity project. I sequenced around 60 sequences of the COI gene and i did an aligment of these sequences. My boss asked me if i could do some Violin graphs with the data we obtained but i don't know which index of diversity use. I did one graph using the nucleotidix index… read more
