64 Human Genomes Sequenced Will Serve as New Reference for Genetic Variation and Predisposition to Human Diseases Researchers at the University of Maryland School of…
CRISPR gene editing has transformed research, but it is not perfect, and can sometimes target unintended genes. To watch CRISPR enzymes respond to different genes,…
The koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a virus that, like other retroviruses such as HIV, inserts itself into the DNA of an infected cell. At some…
SSRgenotyper is a newly developed, free bioinformatic tool that allows researchers to digitally genotype sequenced populations using simple sequence repeats (SSRs), a task that previously…
Viruses make copies of themselves during an infection, and new research sheds light on one of the coronavirus molecules that is important for this process,…
HSE University researchers have become the first in the world to discover genetic predisposition to severe COVID-19. The results of the study were published in…
