The largest analysis to date of whole-genome sequences from people with autism links new genes and variants to the disease. The results and sequences – from 5,100 people with autism and 6,212 without – are on a cloud-based platform and are available to trained researchers. This effort is the latest advancement of the ongoing MSSNG …
Summary: Study identifies genetic markers in cells associated with proprioception. The findings provide new clues about how proprioceptive sensory neurons help control movement. Source: Center Max Delbruck To perform coordinated movements, we rely on special sensory neurons in our muscles and joints. Without them, the brain wouldn’t know what the rest of our body is …

BUFFALO, NY – December 9, 2022 – A new research article has been published in Genes and Cancer on November 23, 2022, entitled “Ectopic expression of MHIV lncRNA as a potential diagnostic biomarker in …
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that drives aging. In a new study, researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They found that gene length can explain most of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. All cells …
image: Illustration illustrating the mechanism and distribution of the antidote and the expression of the poison. At the start of meiosis, both proteins are expressed. Later, the antidote is only found outside the spores, while the toxic protein is ubiquitous. Finally, mature spores that inherit wtf4 contain poison and antidote, while other spores are destroyed. …
An Icelandic Sheepdog.Photo: Shutterstock (Shutterstock) A new study could help us better understand our canine companions. National Institutes of Health scientists say they have discovered some of the ways genes can influence the behaviors of certain breeds, such as herding dogs. For about two decades, a team led by Elaine Ostrander at the National Human …

Baby arrival parties. There are plenty of opportunities to celebrate the 40-week transition into parenthood. Often, these celebrations implicitly assume that pregnancy is cooperative and mutually beneficial for both …
December 7, 2022 Flipping the switch: Salk scientists shed new light on genetic changes that turn cancer genes on New research into cancer-causing gene mutations could lead to better ways to predict and treat disease December 7, 2022 LA JOLLA—Cancer, caused by an abnormal proliferation of cells, is the second leading cause of death worldwide. …
By Linda B. Glaser, Cornell University December 5, 2022 Researchers from Cornell University have revealed how a key mechanism in genes is controlled. Researchers at Cornell University have discovered a crucial mechanism in gene control through the study of yeast, a simple organism needed to produce beer and bread. Gene transcription, the complex process by …
CRISPR, the Nobel Prize-winning gene-editing technology, is poised to once again have a profound impact on the fields of microbiology and medicine. A team led by CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna and her longtime collaborator Jill Banfield has developed a clever tool to edit the genomes of bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages using a rare form of …
