Diagnosis Without Doctors: Could PCs Replace GPs?
Computers may not have much by way of bedside manner, but they can carry out tasks human doctors can’t, processing gigabytes of data for a more personalized diagnosis.
The Un-Silencing Of The Genes
Researchers have developed a technique that turns back on silenced, or switched-off, genes without causing unwanted mutations.
Researchers Find Strong Genetic Risk Factor For Kidney Disease
A strong genetic risk factor exists for IgA nephropathy, the most common inflammatory kidney disease worldwide.
Genome Instability May Be Linked To Schizophrenia
Researchers have identified significantly more DNA sequence repeats in patients with schizophrenia than in control individuals.
Genome Of Industrial Microorganism Reveals High Tolerance Of Toxic Chemicals
Not only is Clostridium tyrobutyricum able to produce butyric acid, it is also has a higher tolerance to toxic 1-butanol than other bacterial strains.
Researchers Find Dozens Of Genetic Regions Linked To Migraines
Researchers have discovered that vascular dysfunction, or poor blood vessel function, is a primary mechanism underlying migraine.
The Genetic Dance Of Corals & Algae
In the very early stages of coral symbiosis—four hours, to be exact—algae induces significant changes in coral gene expression.
Marine Sponges Make Up Bulk Of Oceans’ Microbial Diversity
Genetic analysis of these ancient multicellular lifeforms revealed enormous complexity: one single sponge species contained 12,000 different microbes.
Researchers Decode Rubber Tree Genome
The sequenced genome of the rubber tree could lead to methods to increase the production of natural rubber.
