Analysis suggests people with more copies of ribosomal DNA have higher risks of developing diseaseRibosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more ...

Starch might impact your oral health—depending on your DNACornell researchers found that genetic variation in AMY1, a starch-digesting gene, alters oral bacteria composition, ...
Low copy number PCR 5 Low copy number PCR amplifies low amounts of DNA (typically <100-200pg). Increasing the number of amplification cycles to 34 instead of 28 helps increase sensitivity. Additional ...
Published in Cell Genomics, the research explored how the copy number variation, or CNV, of certain DNA segments can influence cognitive abilities. Analyzing the CNV of nearly 260,000 people in ...
