The day koalas almost went extinct

Koalas experienced a major demographic collapse long before humans arrived in Australia. This discovery overturns the ...
In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...
Mutation rates govern the introduction of genetic variation and influence evolutionary trajectories, disease susceptibility and species diversity. Rates are shaped by a balance between DNA damage, ...
A new study published in PLOS Genetics has identified an extreme mutational hotspot within the genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens, providing unprecedented insight into the relationship between gene ...
Mutation dynamics in bacterial populations underpin the generation of genetic diversity that drives adaptation, speciation and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Spontaneous base substitutions ...
The William H. Foege Genome Sciences Building at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle contains laboratories, sequencers, computational facilities, and other resources for ...
Community-based patient navigation and preventative care among women surviving breast cancer. Gentian violet compared with methylene blue for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer: A ...
A new study from deCODE genetics uses pedigrees and sequence data from 64,806 Icelanders to shed light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the peculiar dynamics of its ...
Using sequencing instruments from multiple vendors, scientists from the University of Utah Health, the University of Washington, PacBio, and elsewhere have developed what they claim is the most ...
Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study on artificial reproductive ...
Retrospective study of fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy dosing and toxicity in patients with screen-detected deleterious DPYD gene variants. Real-world treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization ...
