Study reveals possible therapeutic strategy and a molecular mystery

Project's aim was to add more data to genomic databases, in which reptiles are poorly represented

MD Anderson study also finds individuals with certain genetic variations more vulnerable to dietary risk

Utah chemists look for precursors to disease mutations

Biologists find that fruit flies with two muscle protein mutations do better than those with a single mutation, suggesting a new view of human heart disease.

Bacterium exhibits remarkable ability to repair or prevent DNA damage arising from internal processes, contrary to previous findings

A newly developed spectroscopy method is helping to clarify the poorly understood molecular process by which an anti-HIV drug induces lethal mutations in the virus’ genetic material. The findings from the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could bolster efforts to develop the next generation of anti-viral treatments.

By tracking down how bacterial defense systems work, the scientists can potentially fight infectious diseases and genetic disorders.

Scientists develop algorithm to uncover genomic insertions and deletions involved in autism, OCD.

Research could lead to development of new cancer therapies.
