| |  Using a technique that is opening the door to more complex analyses of the human genome, researchers have identified dozens of new genetic variations that affect blood pressure. | |
|
| |  BC Platforms, a pioneer in genomic data management and analytics, today announces it has launched GeneVision, a new end-to-end Solution for Precision Medicine, that uses the Microsoft Genomics service which runs on Microsoft Azure. | |
|
| |  Myriad Genetics, Inc., a leader in molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine, continues to demonstrate an unmatched commitment to hereditary cancer risk assessment and genetic testing during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. | |
|
| |  Researchers led by Dr. Knut Woltjen report a new gene editing method that can modify a single DNA base in the human genome with absolute precision. | |
|
| |  Scientists have identified a single genetic change in Salmonella that is playing a key role in the devastating epidemic of bloodstream infections currently killing around 400,000 people each year in sub-Saharan Africa. | |
|
| |  Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a gene therapy that successfully treats a form of macular degeneration in a canine model. | |
|
| |  Gene therapy has shown promise for treating a neurodegenerative disease known as frontotemporal dementia and a related condition called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, according to new findings presented in the Journal of Neuroscience by researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. | |
|
| |  New compounds targeting epigenetics have shown remarkable early activity in patients with lymphoma, according to data presented at the TAT (Targeted Anticancer Therapies) International Congress 2018 in Paris, France. | |
|
| |  Researchers at the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University have discovered 50 new gene regions that increase the risk of developing schizophrenia. | |
|
| |  Chia seeds, Moringa powder, Açai or Goji berries, the list of foods with alleged health benefits is increasing constantly. Health-conscious consumers love "superfoods" that are attributed stress-reducing and detoxifying properties as well as properties strengthening the immune system. | |
|
| |  For almost a hundred years, geneticists have believed that the more a cell divides the more mutations it acquires. However, research by scientists at the Institut Pasteur shows that quiescent cells, which do not divide, also acquire a particular type of mutation - deletions (mutations through loss of nucleobases). | |
|
| |  Although certain genetic variants increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), age is the strongest known risk factor. But the way in which molecular processes of aging predispose people to AD, or become impaired in AD remains a mystery. | |
|
| |  A group of genes and genetic switches involved in age-related brain deterioration have been identified by scientists at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge and Sapienza University, Rome. | |
|
| |  Patau’s syndrome, also referred to as Trisomy 13, is a chromosome-based, rare genetic disorder in which the some or all of a patients cell contain an extra copy of chromosome 13. Normally a baby should have two copies of the chromosome, and this additional chromosome causes abnormal development of the fetus, often resulting in a miscarriage or stillbirth. | |
|
| |  The accumulation of mutations in the human genome is at the origin of cancers, as well as the development of resistance to treatments. The Cyclin E and Myc genes are active in the control of cell division. | |
|
| |  Mutations in known breast cancer genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 are identified in only approximately 20 per cent of women who are offered genetic testing for familial breast cancer. | |
|
| |  There are two general classes of DNA repair; the direct reversal of the chemical process generating the damage and the replacement of damaged nucleotides. | |
|
| |  Edward’s syndrome is a genetic defect that causes several abnormalities in babies with this chromosomal condition. There is no cure for the condition, which causes death shortly after birth. It is also referred to as Trisomy 18 and affects one in five thousand live births. The chances of a woman giving birth to a child with Edward's syndrome increases with the age of the pregnant woman. | |
