A rare cause of hereditary cognitive decline known as CSF1R-Related Disorder (CSF1R-RD) gets its name from mutations in the CSF1R gene, discovered by Mayo Clinic. Memory loss occurs as the condition ...

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 ...

After a cancer diagnosis, patients often have many questions, not only about their treatment but also about what the ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

A stretch of DNA can look static on a screen, just long rows of A, T, C and G. But buried in those letters are small changes ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

A microfluidic device barely larger than a U.S. quarter and developed by a Rutgers University-led team can detect rare genetic mutations from a single drop of blood. A team led by Rutgers ...
