The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the drug Palforzia to mitigate allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that may occur with accidental exposure to peanuts.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) to enable emergency use of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel.

Researchers have elucidated the role of a mysterious, yet ubiquitous protein; it protects against cell death, which could make it a therapeutic target in many diseases.

Almost two thousand seven hundred whole-genomes of cancer have now been sequenced and analyzed as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium – the most comprehensive study of whole-genomes to date. Newly discovered genetic “fingerprints” will help researchers identify previously unknown causes of cancer and will help guide future strategies to diagnose and treat this extremely complex disease.

The European Laboratory Research & Innovation Group (ELRIG) UK and the British Pharmacological Society have announced that Dr Ann Hayes has been selected to chair their joint steering committee.

In a study published in the journal PLOS Genetics, a team led by University of Michigan plant ecological geneticist Regina Baucom used genome-wide scans to identify nontarget-site glyphosate resistance in the common morning glory, an annual vine that is a noxious agricultural weed.

An elaborate system of filaments, liquid droplet dynamics and protein connectors enables the repair of some damaged DNA in the nuclei of cells, according to a new study.

Researchers have discovered a fundamental mechanism that regulates gene activity in cells by targeting RNA.

Taking inspiration from plants, researchers have developed a new technology for the removal of oil that poses a danger to aquatic organisms.

Researchers have created a neural network that learned to predict the behavior of a quantum system by “looking” at its network structure, which could aid in developing new efficient quantum computers.
