Current methods to model or correct mutations in live cells are inefficient, especially when multiplexing -- installing multiple point mutations simultaneously across the genome. Researchers have ...

A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...

Sickle Cell Disease is an awful genetic disease that disproportionally affects black people. It's caused by a single-point mutation in DNA, which results in a modified hemoglobin protein, differing by ...

February 27, 2009 — Researchers have identified a mutation in THAP1 that cosegregates with primary torsion dystonia in affected members of 3 Amish-Mennonite families, according to an article published ...

The first successful results of a collaboration between EKF Molecular Diagnostics and the Institute of Life Sciences at Swansea University have demonstrated the detection of gene mutations in blood ...

Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath ...
