A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

February 27, 2009 — Researchers have identified a mutation in THAP1 that cosegregates with primary torsion dystonia in affected members of 3 Amish-Mennonite families, according to an article published ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
