A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

DNA's 3D shape — its twisted ladders complexly curled into coils and loops — and other features beyond its genetic code may influence where "hotspots" of cancer-causing mutations accumulate. That's ...

A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before in a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center. The researchers found that ...

The first successful results of a collaboration between EKF Molecular Diagnostics and the Institute of Life Sciences at Swansea University have demonstrated the detection of gene mutations in blood ...

An analysis of pre-treatment tumor specimens from 105 patients with localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer found that the presence of a mutation in any one of three genes, all known to be involved ...

Researchers have found that splitting the gene editor used in traditional CRISPR technology creates a more precise tool that can be switched on and off, with significantly less chance of causing ...
