KNOW IT ALL Scientists have conﬁrmed that a person’s IQ can be predicted by studying their DNA i.e. by conducting tests using a swab of saliva or a drop of blood. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Harvard University have discovered 538 new genes linked to brain power, using data from UK Biobank and comparing DNA variants from more than 240,000 people. Their analysis also identiﬁed 187 regions of the human genome that are associated with thinking skills. Some of these genes are also linked to other biological processes including life spans. นักวิทยาศาสตร์จากมหาวิทยาลัย Harvard และ Edinburgh ค้นพบยีนกลุ่มหนึ่งที่อาจเรียกได้ว่า เป็น ‘Smart genes’ จ�านวน 538 ตัว ในร่างกาย ของมนุษย์ (กลุ่มตัวอย่างจ�านวน 24,000 คน) ที่มีความเชื่อมโยงไปถึงทักษะความฉลาดเฉลียว หรือความอัจฉริยะของแต่ละคน ซึ่งการวิจัย ในครั้งนี้น่าจะเปิดทางให้วงการวิทยาศาสตร์ สามารถวิเคราะห์ค่า IQ ของคนเราผ่านการ ตรวจสอบ DNA ได้รวมถึงยังเชื่อมได้ไปถึง ‘กระบวนการทางชีววิทยา’ (Biological process) ที่เกี่ยวกับอายุขัยของคนเราได้อีกด้วย แต่ยังจ�าเป็นต้องศึกษาเพิ่มเติมอีกต่อไป FACE SHAPE IS IN THE GENES Our DNA determines what we look like, including our facial features, and a team of researchers have now identiﬁed 15 genes that are key to shaping our faces. The team looked at 2,329 people of European ancestry whose faces had been modelled in 3D, allowing the team to match them with similar characteristics. The team found 38 genes that might aﬀect facial features, but only 15 of these were conﬁrmed when they replicated the study using another 1,719 people. The potential applications for this research are varied, ranging from facial reconstructive surgery to crime scene investigation. The research shows promising future applications, however it is in its infancy. DNA เป็นตัวชี้ว่าเราจะมีรูปร่างลักษณะ รวมถึงว่าหน้าตาแบบไหน และทีมวิจัยจาก มหาวิทยาลัยพิทส์เบิร์กก็เพิ่งระบุยีน 15 ตัว ที่ก�าหนดองค์ประกอบต่างๆ บนใบหน้าเรา ทีมวิจัยได้ศึกษาใบหน้าของชาวยุโรป 2,329 คน เพื่อหาลักษณะร่วมบางอย่าง แล้วท�าการ เทียบเคียงกับลักษณะทางพันธุกรรม พบว่ามี ยีน 38 ตัวที่มีส่วนเกี่ยวข้องกับใบหน้า แต่ เมื่อน�ายีน 38 ตัวนี้ไปเปรียบเทียบซ�้ากับกลุ่ม ตัวอย่างอีก 1,719 คน ก็สรุปว่ามียีน 15 ตัว ที่แสดงผลจริงๆ การค้นพบนี้สามารถน�าไป พัฒนาต่อยอดในการผ่าตัดเพื่อสร้างใบหน้า หรืออาจจะเป็นการค้นหาผู้ต้องสงสัยใน อาชญากรรมก็ได้ อย่างไรก็ตาม ยังเป็นการ ทดลองในขั้นต้นที่จะต้องศึกษาปัจจัยอื่นๆ ต่อไปAdvertorial / ISSUE_16 15/ ISSUE_16 16 YOUR HEALTHY SOUL Lastest shopping guide The ubiquity of wearability has been increasing in recent years.
