A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Scientists at UC Santa Cruz have completed the first end-to-end genome of the iconic Pacific banana slug, a species ...

Evolution is the basis of biological diversity, driven by mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive. One such mechanism is polyploidy, where organisms carry extra copies of their genomes.

Patients were previously met with fragmented care, limited access to genetic testing and a lack of integrated counselling, OGS clinical director Beau Fenner said. The care was also focused on ...

“Obviously, we can’t do brain biopsies of living persons carrying the gene,” says Tabrizi. Instead, her team looked at blood cells, which also undergo Htt repeat expansion. To her team’s ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people ... as other factors (e.g., environment, education, interests and opportunities) play a far greater role ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 ...
