The DNA strands on the end of chromosomes, called telomeres, are great predictors of life expectancy, stated BYU biologist Jonathan Alder. He claims that the shorter your telomeres, the shorter your lifespan. But that's not the only thing these fascinating strands of DNA predict. Shorter telomeres also indicate a greater chance for bone marrow failure, liver disease, skin disease and lung disease. Alder was currently studying the gene mutations that ...Monday, 2 March 2015
