New research led by USC Dornsife shows that when scientists rely on similar but different species, findings from genetic data can be distorted by up to 60%. That puts vulnerable species at greater risk.
The USC Dornsife professor explains how her exploration of captive tigers’ genetic ancestry could benefit the wild tiger population.
The first-ever large-scale genetic study examining Hawaiian Polynesians and health risk is led by the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Results likely apply to all East Asian carriers, but exercise may eliminate greater likelihood of getting the disease, say USC researchers.
The USC research discovery opens new avenues of research for diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

A $2.9 million grant to Eileen Crimmins of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology supports multination research on how life circumstances influence gene expression and affect health.
The team is advancing a gene therapy approach to control the virus without the need for daily medicines.
