An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become longer and more unstable as we age. The study found ...

An inverted repeat (IR) consists of two arms (or stems) of similar DNA or RNA—with one inverted and complemented relative to the other—adjacent to a central, usually nonhomologous, spacer sequence.

Usually, most of us can zip a zipper without incident. But sometimes, an unwary dresser makes an alignment error that goes undetected until the ends of a garment don ...

Researchers have published a pivotal study that sheds light on a novel genetic variant associated with intellectual capacities and educational outcomes. This discovery offers new insights into ...

New York City (Sep 24, 2024) – Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have published a pivotal study in Nature Genetics (DOI: 10.1038/s41588-024-01917-1) that sheds light on a ...

Researchers have uncovered how specific DNA rearrangements called inverted triplications contribute to the development of various genetic diseases. The study reveals that during DNA repair, segments ...

I want to use ENSEMBL annotations because my CellRanger output was aligned using GRCh38 v 32 (Ensembl 98). For that matter, I have the fasta sequence of the corresponding release, ...

ABSTRACT: The internal region of bacterial translocatable IS1 acts as a cis-element to stimulate transcription from the various promoters located upstream. The product of the artA gene is genetically ...
