Evolutionary genetics is the study of how genetic variation ... Mice models often fail to reflect human telomere biology. Here, the authors engineer a mouse strain with a humanized mTert gene ...

Viruses also have a rapid reproduction rate, varying depending on the type of virus and the host cell they infect. Rapid replication contributes to a high mutation rate, which can result in increased ...

Genetic changes in a population over time refer to the process by which the genetic makeup of a population evolves. Factors that can lead to genetic changes include mutations in genetic material, ...

Sjögren’s antibody testing is done using a blood sample. It checks antibody levels, including anti-SS-A (also called anti-Ro) and anti-SS-B (also called anti-La). Anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B are ...

Established in October 2024 and the largest of its kind in South-east Asia, the Ocular Genetics Service (OGS) provides a centralised and specialised approach to diagnosing and managing inherited ...

Nearly 300 new genetic variants have been linked to depression, according to a new study that included a large sample of nearly 5 million people. The international team, led by researchers at the ...

Engineering Biology (EngBio) is an emerging field at the confluence of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, AI and Data Science. It has the potential to provide innovative solutions to these challenges by ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

Previous genetic studies of Huntington's, including studies by Vanessa Wheeler and Ricardo Mouro Pinto at Massachusetts General Hospital, hint at possible ways to slow this expansion.

“It’s only when the repeat becomes extremely long that it begins to cause harm,” said co-senior author Steve McCarroll, an institute member and director of genomic neurobiology at the Stanley Center ...
