Now researchers have discovered the "obesity gene" switches on two other genes which stop fat being burned up as heat - a process called thermogenesis. And scientists have shown it is possible to turn off those genes using a ground-breaking technique which snips out bad DNA code and replaces it with the correct sequence.
