Genetics by the Numbers
Even though scientists have been studying genetics since the mid-19th century, they continue to make new discoveries about genes and how they impact our health on a regular basis. NIGMS researchers study how genes are expressed and regulated, how gene variants with different “spellings” of their genetic code affect health, and much more. Get the drop on DNA and the gist of genes with these fast facts:

Take the OMI Quiz and Test yourself against the Queen of Hearts
QuizThe PM Cardio Queen of Hearts AI model for ECG interpretation from Powerful Medical is still in its early days. Do you think you can outperform the toddler version of the AI model?
