		<description><![CDATA[Drug resistance is a major problem when treating infections. This problem is multiplied when the infection, like HIV-1, is chronic. New research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Retrovirology has examined the genetic footprint that drug resistance causes in HIV and found compensatory polymorphisms that help the resistant virus to survive. Currently the strategy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you suffer chronic lower backache, then blame your genes, not the lumbar disc generation (LDD) that has long been suspected of being its prime cause, say experts. These discs, which cushion the vertebrae or the backbone, can end up getting squashed and bulging out. Bony growths can also emerge from the spinal column itself [...]]]></description>

Possibly by a genetic defect, but in 80% of these cases, we do not know – yet &#8211; which genes are responsible. VIB researchers at KU Leuven show that increased production of the HUWE1 protein is the cause in some patients. &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers have genetically modified a bacterium commonly found in the mosquito’s midgut and found that the parasite that causes malaria in people does not survive in mosquitoes carrying the modified bacterium. The bacterium, Pantoea agglomerans, was modified to secrete proteins toxic to the malaria parasite, but the toxins do not harm the mosquito or humans. [...]]]></description>

While it was known that breast size is in part heritable, this study is the first to find specific genetic factors that are associated with differences in breast size, the researchers said. In addition, two of these markers [...]]]></description>
