Regulatory genes—genes that control how other genes are used—are responsible for 69% of the heritability of dairy cattle traits such as milk production and fertility, according to a study published August 23 in the journal Cell Genomics. This contribution is 44% more than expected and much higher than previous studies of regulatory genes in humans. The findings, reported by a team of animal and human geneticists, could improve the efficiency of agricultural breeding programs. The study also helps solve the longstanding mystery of why mammalian genomes contain so much noncoding DNA.

Well, it was another very slow mortgage month out there - and don't just blame it on the winter. According to the Reserve Bank's July figures for new mortgages , total mortgage monies advanced during the month dipped under $5 billion ($4.997 billion to be precise). This made it the slowest July month for mortgages since 2017. The amount of mortgage money advanced dropped from $5.686 billion in June 2023. And while you might imagine it would be typical for the amounts to drop between the month of June and July - in fact the history of the RBNZ data going back to 2014 shows that the figures have actually risen in July from June more often than they have fallen.

Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked Purdue Pharma's plan to emerge from bankruptcy that shielded the founding Sackler families from liability in the nation's opioid epidemic. The application for a stay, brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, was presented to Justice Sonia Sotomayor and referred by her to the wider court, which agreed to hear argument on whether the nation's bankruptcy laws allow a court to approve, as part of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11, a release from litigation for third parties who are not themselves filing for bankruptcy.

Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid ALOR SETAR, June 17 (Bernama) -- The ‘Kalih Bagi Sama' campaign launched by the state Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) in preparation for the upcoming state election does not contradict the country's democratic practises, said Kedah BN chairman Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid. He said the campaign offers voters in the state the option of choosing candidates from BN and PH in the state election to ensure that a new state government that is aligned with the Unity Government can be formed.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Saturday he aims to get a fiscal 2023 supplementary budget for funding a new economic package passed during an extraordinary parliamentary session, to be convened on Oct. 20. As the extra budget is expected to be passed by parliament in late November at the earliest, and given his government's diplomatic and domestic policy schedules for December, Kishida has little room left to call a snap election by the year-end. There had been speculation that Kishida would dissolve the House of Representatives for a snap election early in the upcoming session before the budget passed, as he had said he intended to submit it to the session while not providing a timescale for its passage.
