Paxton’s parents said he has an ultra-rare neurodegenerative genetic mutation on his CLCN6 gene. Essentially, it’s a chloride channel in his brain that greatly impacts his central nervous system.

The great scientist strays into speculation in The Genetic Book of the Dead, his latest defence of his “selfish gene” theory of evolution. By Tim Flannery Richard Dawkins is without doubt the most ...

Here’s how it works. Scientists have discovered a gene variant that could make some parents more likely to have girls than boys. In the new study, researchers analyzed the genomes of around ...
