A study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene ...

Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

Nearly 1 in 7 adults in the United States lives with chronic kidney disease, a condition that often advances quietly until serious damage has occurred. While diabetes and high blood pressure are ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Implications for Treatment and Tumor Biology. If you have the appropriate software installed, you can download article ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
