Copy number variations (CNVs) are a pervasive form of genomic variation that entail duplications or deletions of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases. In animal genomes, CNVs contribute ...

Various approaches have been developed to identify and quantitate copy-number variation. A new, high-resolution approach that already shows promise is digital PCR. As illustrated by many research ...

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 ...

Association of Timely Comprehensive Genomic Profiling With Precision Oncology Treatment Use and Patient Outcomes in Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer Somatic chromosomal alterations, particularly ...

SNF-CLIMEDIN: A Randomized Trial of Digital Support and Intervention in Patients With Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer. A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group Study Shallow whole-genome sequencing ...

“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 ...

SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution) Generating genome sequence data from six additional C. psl. strains that differed markedly in the size of their genomes ...

Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more copies ...

Sure, MACHETE is a cool name, but the researchers that developed the technique are hoping people don't focus solely on that. MACHETE is short for Molecular Alteration of CHromosomes with Engineered ...
