Bacterial species study challenges assumption that structural similarity predicts protein behavior
A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions ...
Pancreatic cancer immune map provides clues for precision treatment targeting
Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumors may potentially ...

Deterministic genetic barcoding for multiplexed behavioral and single-cell transcriptomic studies
A method for genetically barcoding Drosophila is developed and used to tag defined cell populations in vivo for single-cell transcriptomics experiments and to enable multiplexed behavioral analysis.

New Understanding of How Genetic Mutation Causes Huntington’s Disease
For instance, candidate Huntington’s drugs that aim to reduce activity of the mutated gene (or the protein it codes for) have struggled in clinical trials. The new study implies that because very few ...

DNA damage can last unrepaired for years, changing our view of mutations
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
