There is a genetic feature known as a repeat expansion, in which short sequences are repeated continuously. Some of them ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

Tandem repeats are segments of DNA in which short nucleotide motifs are repeated in contiguous blocks. These repeated sequences—particularly short tandem repeats (STRs) composed of 1–6 base pair ...

Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as 'junk DNA' or 'dark matter,' that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and ...

There is evidence that tandem repeat sequences (TRS) could have essential roles in cell functioning processes. We aimed to detect and describe minisatellites contained in the sequences of a cDNA ...

Investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a machine learning strategy that has shown the potential to predict cases of early-stage lung or liver cancers in humans, by ...

Armed with base editors, scientists from the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, professor and director of the Merkin Institute of Transformative Technologies in Healthcare at the Broad Institute, and their ...

Objectives: Swamp eel is one model species for sexual reversion and an aquaculture fish in China. One local strain with deep yellow and big spots of Monopterus albus has been selected for consecutive ...
