Scientists have generated an atlas of the cell types present in the white adipose tissue of humans and mice, allowing them to look at the composition of fat in unprecedented detail.

Researchers have discovered that patients with an uncommon type of bone marrow cancer called ASXL1-mutant chronic myelomonocytic leukemia have distinctive epigenetic changes that can activate specific genes and cause the cancer to grow more rapidly.

Researchers have discovered that the enzyme Dicer, which is found in mammalian cells, plays a key part in the structural integrity of the genome.

Researchers have investigated the destruction of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease and found a possible therapeutic target in a protein with a protective role.

Scientists at Yale and the University of Ottawa have shown how the tiniest biochemical variation in one protein is crucial for the replication and repair of DNA in all plants and animals, they report in the journal Science.

A new study from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the Hyperemesis Education and Research (HER) Foundation has found that mutations or variants in the GDF15 gene are linked to hyperemesis gravidarum.

A combination of four reprogramming molecules that reset the epigenetic marks of older mice has been shown to reverse signs of aging with no side effects over time.

A novel genetic barcoding system has been used to identify cancer cells with different gene modifications and from this, isolate the genes controlling tumor growth and response to immunotherapy.

According to clinical trial data, genomic sequencing of tumors from pediatric cancer patients experiencing a relapse enabled 107 patients to receive an appropriate matched therapy.

Whole-genome analyses have indicated there are genetic variants more commonly found in leaders, one of which is also associated with an increased risk of bipolar disorder.
