The sequence pattern matters: Interruptions or “hitches” and loss of these within the C-A-G repeat and C-C-G repeat stretches play a major role as to when symptoms start with loss of interruptions ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A SickKids led study has found that tiny repeated DNA segments called short tandem repeats vary not only in length but also in ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones—from fish and frogs to ...

Every year, millions of newborns undergo routine screening as a preventive strategy to detect inherited disorders before ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

The project focuses on increasing the diversity of genetic data and improving outcomes of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and triple-negative breast cancer.

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...
