A computer algorithm can efficiently find genetic mutations that work together to drive cancer as well as other important genetic clues that researchers might someday use to develop new treatments for ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

Among the forms of monogenic macular degeneration, the most common is Stargardt disease. This disease is caused by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter alpha 4 subunit (ABCA4) gene, ...

An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...
