Researchers from the HUN-REN Szeged Biological Research Centre and HCEMM have just published a new study suggesting that it's ...

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 ...

Patients with CaV2.1 channelopathies face severe and often debilitating symptoms, such as seizures, migraines, tremors, and ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...

The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

The RAS family commonly drives the growth and survival of human cancers. Mutations in KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS occur in approximately 20% of all human cancers, including solid tumors, such as pancreatic, ...

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 ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes' arms are protected with caps known as telomeres. Telomeres are made up of highly ...

This module is a replica of a strand of DNA for eye color using light patterns controlled by an Arduino. The four light colors, red, green, blue, and yellow, represent the four nucleotide base pairs, ...
