Dyslexia: Is It In The Genes?
University of Calgary medical researchers have found the location of a gene that makes people likely to inherit dyslexia. It is hoped that this ongoing research will lead to routine genetic screening that could provide early identification of the condition, so that children could get help prior to and upon entering the school system.

Matt Janz, Creator of Out of the Gene Pool
Bulbous nosed, large ringed spots and a hairy back – a very furry, fuzzy, hairy back. Doesn’t sound particularly appealing, does it? Pot bellied and ugly, yet interesting, kind and sweet, this unlikely creature is Rufus, one of the star characters in <i>Out of the Gene Pool.</i> The innovative comic strip was created by Matt Janz, the first FineToon Fellowship winner.

DIETS, MOLECULES AND OBESITY: PART II
This is the second part of a three-part series. It deals with the fact that most obese people are so because of a genetic susceptibility. The susceptibility is brought about because our genes have not evolved to be adapted to an environment in which there is easy access to food rich in energy and very little need of physical work to obtain it.
