In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...
Mutation rates govern the introduction of genetic variation and influence evolutionary trajectories, disease susceptibility and species diversity. Rates are shaped by a balance between DNA damage, ...
A new study published in PLOS Genetics has identified an extreme mutational hotspot within the genome of Pseudomonas ...
Mutation dynamics in bacterial populations underpin the generation of genetic diversity that drives adaptation, speciation and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Spontaneous base substitutions ...
A new technique, TF-High-Evolutionary (TF-HighEvo), allows large-scale assessment of de-novo mutations in multicellular organisms. Developed in collaboration with researchers from the European ...
Community-based patient navigation and preventative care among women surviving breast cancer. Gentian violet compared with methylene blue for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer: A ...
A new study from deCODE genetics uses pedigrees and sequence data from 64,806 Icelanders to shed light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the peculiar dynamics of its ...
Using sequencing instruments from multiple vendors, scientists from the University of Utah Health, the University of Washington, PacBio, and elsewhere have developed what they claim is the most ...
The William H. Foege Genome Sciences Building at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle contains laboratories, sequencers, computational facilities, and other resources for ...
Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study on artificial reproductive ...
