In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the “cone mosaic.” Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have discovered that a protein […]
Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have identified associations between bipolar disorder and rare loss-of-function variants in two genes.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Toronto have revealed how a tiny chemical modification in RNA, known as m6A, plays a critical role in the progression of prostate […]
Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine and eight other institutions in the United States, Africa and Europe say they have identified a potential new gene target that could be edited to treat sickle cell disease, an […]
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have demonstrated that a genetic method called “pooled prime editing” can screen hundreds of variants in a gene at once and identify which variants affect the gene’s function.This article […]
After every meal, the intestines perform an action called peristalsis—moving food through their hollow interiors with coordinated contractions and relaxations of the smooth muscle.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are encapsulated into recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) capsids as single-stranded DNA.This article was originally published […]
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene. Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council […]
Genetic information collected through research studies like Geisinger’s MyCode Community Health Initiative can provide important—and previously unknown—information to participants about their risk for disease.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell nuclei of all flora and fauna. In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, […]
