The CRS has five residues in this repeat, whereas most other human mtDNAs have six. To determine which errors in the CRS resulted from the use of HeLa mtDNA sequence, we sequenced the HeLa ...

Depending on the definition, a gene may be considered a stretch of DNA that acts as instructions for protein production. Regions of DNA that do not code for proteins may also be considered genes if ...

Paraphrase in combination with HiFi long-read sequencing provides a single framework for resolving highly similar paralogous ...

New research has shown that modern humans descend from not one but two separate ancient human ancestral lineages.

PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), a leading provider of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing platforms, today announced a newly published study in Nature Communications unveiling a powerful new method for ...

Figure 2. Human AIP showing the areas of the protein most often affected by mutations: the purple, blue, pink and red helicis. The DNA consists of individual building blocks called bases, and a gene ...

Three studies identify unintended consequences of gene editing in human embryos, including large deletions and reshuffling of DNA. Amanda was an associate editor at The Scientist, where she oversaw ...

CRISPR (pronounced “crisper”) is a powerful tool that scientists can use to edit DNA and modify gene functions ... By mapping the human genome, we now know the DNA errors that are at the ...
