Findings from a new Dartmouth-led study, published in the journal mBio, highlight key differences in the gut microbiome (communities of bacteria) of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to that ...

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 ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a small percentage of them — and their family members — undergo ...

Genes play a role in our likelihood of developing depression, and one of the most extensive studies of its kind has now been able to link 293 previously unknown genetic variations to the devastating ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Tagging gene-regulating DNA sequences with barcodes has advanced the understanding of gene expression control in the human genome. The study analyzed cis ...

The Huntington's mutation involves a stretch of DNA in the HTT gene in which a three-letter sequence of DNA, "CAG," is repeated at least 40 times, as opposed to the 15-35 repeats inherited by ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, have applied machine learning to genetic sequence data from wild and domestic European grapes. In the study, "Adaptive and ...
