Samples of right lung tissue obtained from the experimental animals were used for gene and protein expression analysis ... The sections were stained using this technique to observe the degree of ...

A gene mutation is a permanent change to the DNA sequence that makes up one of your genes in a way that’s different from most other people’s genes. In cerebral palsy, experts used to think only a ...

Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla at Helmholtz Munich and LMU set out to explore these ancient DNA sequences by developing a novel method to study their transcription. They created a single-embryo atlas ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

Advances in genomics (the methods we use to sequence some or all of our DNA) and reductions in the time and cost of sequencing mean it may now be possible to use genomics in newborn bloodspot ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division -- known as DNA replication -- and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Viral and nonviral clinical trials have established proof-of-principle for gene transfer into the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung. It is currently unknown whether gene transfer efficiency is sufficient ...
