New research from The University of Manchester and the Brabraham Institute has revealed how gaps between genes interact to influence the risk of acquiring diseases such as arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Writing in Nature […]
Depletion of BRCA1, long known to cause cancer, impairs brain cell function and may contribute to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from the Gladstone Institutes have shown for the first time that the protein […]
The DNA microarray technology is currently a useful biomedical tool which has been developed for a variety of diagnostic applications. However, the development pathway has not been smooth and the technology has faced some challenges. […]
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled an in-depth look into genes, transcripts and their translation at the genomic scale. The application of NGS sequencing of ribosome footprints (Ribo-Seq) reveals translation with single nucleotide (nt) resolution, […]
Advances in tumor biology and human genetics that have identified driver events and critical dependencies, together with the development of drugs for specific targets, hold promise for an era of personalized oncology treatment. The efficacy […]
Genetically encoded split biosensors based on protein fragment complementation are a sensitive and robust tool for monitoring dynamic protein-protein interactions and activities of druggable targets in cell-based assays. Cellular signalling is commonly mediated through dynamic […]
Precision medicine or personalized medicine has been proposed as a modernized and promising medical strategy. Genetic variants of patients are the key information for implementation of precision medicine. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an emerging technology […]
Until recently, retention of introns in mature mRNAs has been regarded as a consequence of mis-splicing. Intron-retaining transcripts are thought to be non-functional because they are readily degraded by nonsense-mediated decay. However, recent advances in […]
Ten years ago, there was an emerging view that the molecular basis for adult mitochondrial disorders was largely known and that the clinical phenotypes had been well described. Nothing could have been further from the […]
Next-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionarily advanced sequence-based research with the advantages of high-throughput, high-sensitivity, and high-speed. RNA-seq is now being used widely for uncovering multiple facets of transcriptome to facilitate the biological applications. However, the […]
