The recent improvement of the high-throughput sequencing technologies is having a strong impact on the detection of genetic variations associated with cancer. Several institutions worldwide have been sequencing the whole exomes and or genomes of […]
Insight into how genomes change and adapt due to selection addresses key questions in evolutionary biology and in domestication of animals and plants by humans. In that regard, the pig and its close relatives found […]
A large study by researchers with the UC Davis MIND Institute has found that a gene whose role is to suppress cellular damage from environmental stressors is nearly twice as likely to be defective in […]
Pilot study will sequence 81 cancer genes in children’s tumours to help personalise cancer treatment. Children with cancer at leading hospitals across the UK will be offered testing for genetic mutations in their tumours as […]
Scientists know people react differently to medication because of their genetic make-up. However, while researchers understand certain genetic variations correspond with certain responses to drugs, they aren’t sure why. A study published in the journal […]
A novel mouse model of a highly lethal form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) offers a new tool for scientists working to better understand this disease and research new therapeutic targets. Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s […]
Scientists at IRB Barcelona discover a crucial protein for meiosis — the cell division process that gives rise to sex cells. Published in Nature Communications, a study by scientists at the Institute for Research in […]
A new genetic study suggests varying mutations in the NF1 gene may determine which particular disease symptoms arise in the cancer syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1. The finding opens the door to discovering ways to help […]
The brain cells of mice exposed to a new class of fungicides showed changes in gene expression similar to those found in individuals with autism, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions, according to the results […]
A mysterious inflammatory disease has been afflicting a Flemish family for three generations, causing severe skin lesions, fevers, pain and exhaustion. This disease, which previously had no known cause or cure, has now been identified […]
