All Erdogan's meals tested at home and abroad: doctor
Every meal that goes before Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is rigorously tested both at home and abroad for fear of possible assassination, his personal doctor said. Currently, samples of the president's food are analysed in laboratories in both Ankara and Istanbul and during his visits abroad, he said. Erdogan's opponents accuse him of increasing megalomania, and the authorities of setting up a cult of personality around the man who has ruled Turkey either as president or prime minister since 2003. Erdogan's 1,150-room palace, which opened last year on the outskirts of Ankara, has been condemned by critics as an absurd extravagance that shows he is slipping further towards authoritarian rule.

The findings have broad implications for the study of human disease, and reveal that inheriting a genetic mutation could have different consequences depending on whether it comes from Mom or Dad. "This is an exceptional new research finding that opens the door to an entirely new area of exploration in human genetics," says Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena, PhD, professor of genetics and senior author of the paper. Scientists have known for some time, that 95 genes express themselves differently depending upon which parent they come from, according to Dr. Pardo-Manuel de Villena, and now, this study has revealed that there are thousands of others.
