Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...
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 ...
DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.
Ever see a basset hound and find yourself wanting to (gently) grab its long, floppy ears and give them a little waggle? The ...
Figure 3. Docking of ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 to the PTB protein. (A) The results of docking ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 (light orange) to the PTB protein (PDB code 3DXC, navy blue) in the 934-941 amino acid region ...
A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...
Scientists from UC Davis Center for Surgical Bioengineering, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab are developing ...
Fourteen million people worldwide suffer from enlarged hearts, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic disease that thickens the heart's walls, making it harder for the organ to pump blood - ...
