I inherited more from my father than my mother

It is possible that many of us are more like moms in appearance but new research by US scientists suggests that we often inherit more genetics from the internal family - a study also has important implications in disease treatment.

The team at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found that even though we inherit uniform amounts of genes from our parents - which are the contributors to an individual - we often 'use' many DNA from father.

The research leader, Professor Pardo-Manuel de Villena, announced: 'This is a unique study, opening the door to a completely new era in human genetics survey'. He explained: 'We have known that there are 95 genes that depend on the impact of parents' origin. They are called imprinted genes and they can play a role in causing illness depending on the genetic change that comes from a parent. This time, we discovered thousands of other genes that have new effects from parents 'origins.'

In this study, scientists selected three hybrid mouse varieties with different subspecies, originating from different continents. These rats were bred to form 9 descendant rat species, each of which carries the genetic mark of both parents.

As the mouse matured, the team measured gene expression in four types of tissue, including brain tissue. They then quantified the level of gene expression originating from both parents in each genome in the genome. They found an imbalance in the genetic origin between the father and mother in the descendant mouse, whereby the genes in their brains were remarkably similar to their parents.

Scientists say that the study of genetic modification in the mouse experiment focused on the origins of parents, allowing scientists to shed light to discover the cause of disease more accurately and seek treatment more appropriate. We all know that at least there are common genetic related diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, schizophrenia, and cancer.
