The research is published in the journal Nature. The study comprehensively analyzed "cis-regulatory elements" (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription. This work sheds ...

Advances in genomics (the methods we use to sequence some or all of our DNA) and reductions in the time and cost of sequencing mean it may now be possible to use genomics in newborn bloodspot ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division -- known as DNA replication -- and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...

for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients with at least one F508del mutation or another treatment-responsive mutation in the CFTR gene. The fixed-dose triple-combination therapy ...

DNA nanotechnology enables the creation of nanorobots that can alter the shape and permeability of synthetic cell membranes, facilitating the passage of large molecules like therapeutic proteins.

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Eli Lilly is making a play for the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) market, offering Mediar Therapeutics $99 million in upfront and near-term payments for global rights to an asset that is ...

Detailed price information for 4D Molecular Therapeutics Inc (FDMT-Q) from The Globe and Mail including charting and trades.

This complex process, known as gene expression, determines which proteins we make and whether we make them in the correct amounts, crucial work given that proteins play a role in virtually every a ...

What is a cystic hygroma? A cystic hygroma — or lymphangioma — is a birth defect that appears as a sac-like structure with a thin wall that most commonly occurs in the head and neck area of an infant.

Various diseases and conditions related to heritable gene mutations can directly impact lifespan. These include cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, to name a couple. Key Concepts in the Genetic ...
