Researchers open new avenues for the development of precision therapeutics targeting RNA

Findings presented at ASH meeting offer clues about use of gene editing for disease-causing mutations

Some errors can cancel out or suppress the fallout of those mutations known to cause disease

UGA researcher has been awarded $1.3 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to develop statistical tools to further clarify the causes of many diseases

Research team establishes biomarkers for the inherited blood disorder

“If this holds true for our own microbiomes, it suggests that microbes are always becoming more specialized for competing in their local environment in subtle ways,” says researcher

Team plans to continue studying fruit flies to better understand the connection between human disease genes and muscle function

The findings could help in the search for therapies that act upon the gene itself

More than 30 diseases, all of them incurable, are caused by RNA repeats

Researcher's new method is the first demonstration that one can accurately anticipate future seasonal influenza strains in the lab
