Researchers from the University of Birmingham are working with health partners in Brazil to combat the spread of Zika virus by deploying a pair of mobile DNA sequencing laboratories on a medical ‘road trip’ through the worst-hit areas of the country.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a new cause of Parkinson’s disease – mutations in a gene called TMEM230. This appears to be only the third gene definitively linked to confirmed cases of Parkinson’s disease.

The GDC will centralize, standardize and make accessible data from NCI programs such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and its pediatric equivalent, to Generate Effective Treatments.

Cells have an alternative plan when energy is needed in the cell nucleus.

Part of the National Cancer Moonshot, the GDC will centralize and standardize accessible data.

Distinction between genetic engineering and conventional plant breeding becoming less clear, says new report on GE crops.

The researchers found that EXOSC2 expression is enhanced in metastatic tumors because their cells have increased levels of a tRNA called GluUUC.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool have identified and dated the genetic mutation that gave rise to the black form of the peppered moth, which spread rapidly during Britain’s Industrial Revolution.

An approach that could reduce the chances of drugs failing during the later stages of clinical trials has been demonstrated by a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

Scientists from The University of Western Australia have joined a global research team that have identified genes in peanuts that when altered will be able to prevent an allergic response in humans.
