The evolution of the MUC7 gene, which encodes a saliva protein, was studied by scientists at the University at Buffalo. To capture the gene’s proline-, threonine-, and serine-rich tandem repeat copy ...

“Such knowledge on physiological decline throughout pregnancy and the remarkable rejuvenation right after delivery will assist with revolutionizing our approach to treating the elderly.” “We ...

CNV were quality controlled according to the PGC CNV calling pipeline [12]. To ensure that the analysis included a reliable set of calls, CNV calls produced by the different calling algorithms were ...

We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

A recent large cohort study, conducted jointly by researchers from BGI Genomics and Nanjing Women and Children's Healthcare Hospital, implemented a self-developed prenatal screening strategy to ...

The amylase enzyme plays a central role in the modern human diet. Its main function is to digest starch, a cornerstone of most contemporary diets, into simple sugars 1. Among humans, salivary amylase ...

Association of SPARC expression with metastatic progression and prostate cancer-specific mortality after radical prostatectomy. Post-treatment alterations in 18F-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) and FDG PET ...

A new study challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding genome stability within closely related organisms and sheds new light on the mechanisms underlying extensive genome size variation. Our ...

Copy number variation (CNV) refers to an increase or decrease in the number of copies of a DNA sequence in a genome, which can subsequently be implicit in promoting aberrant gene expression patterns ...

Neoadjuvant pamiparib in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer: A single-arm, prospective phase II trial. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This ...
