One of the world’s biggest genetic databases comprises DNA data donated over the years by more than a million retired military service members. It’s part of a project run by the Department of Veterans Affairs.This […]
Controlling the activity of specific genes in the laboratory through the editing of their epigenetic marks is now a reality thanks to the CRISPR technology. A team from the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute has […]
Doctors and genetic researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered that changes in a gene leads to severe nerve damage in children following a mild bout of infection.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Optum and Illumina Inc. researchers documented that less than half of patients with newly diagnosed advanced cancers received any biomarker testing before starting treatment, a gap that persisted despite established guidelines recommending such assessments to […]
Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of their […]
Researchers from the University of Adelaide are hopeful a recent biological discovery could lead to the precision treatment of bipolar disorder (BD).This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers at the Hebrew University have developed an exceptionally accurate method for predicting chronological age from DNA, based on two short genomic regions. Using deep learning networks analyzing DNA methylation patterns at a single-molecule resolution, […]
Researchers from the University of Maryland’s Department of Nutrition and Food Science are shedding new light on how a dangerous food-borne pathogen—Cronobacter sakazakii—may have adapted to thrive in dried and powdered foods across the global […]
In a newly published article in Nature Genetics, researchers from the University of Chicago have identified tumor aneuploidy—an imbalance in the number of chromosomes—as a powerful biomarker associated with resistance to immunotherapy across cancer types. […]
It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to misbehave—plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps stabilize neurons, but in Alzheimer’s disease, […]
