Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments.

A team of investigators at Penn State College of Medicine reports the development of a new method that improves the mapping of genetic variants that influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have invented a new way to map specific DNA markings called 5-methylcytosine (5mC) which regulate gene expression and ...

Over the past 15 years scientists have identified hundreds of regions in the human genome associated with heart attack risk. However, efficient ways to explore how these genetic variants are ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...
