Some diseases, like sickle-cell anemia and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are due to errors in only a single letter of the human genome. Scientists are beginning to learn more about the ...
Long before the COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on CRISPR-based diagnostics, Kiana Aran, PhD, was developing the CRISPR-Chip. It was, according to Aran, the first transistor that uses CRISPR to ...
video: Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) Assistant Professor and University of California, Berkeley Visiting Scientist Dr. Kiana Aran first introduced the CRISPR-Chip technology in 2019. Now just two ...
Chemistry researchers have found the key to a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) - a natural mutation in humans - which offers protection against cardiovascular disease, and could enable drug ...
Hereditary non-syndromic deafness has been associated with a point mutation in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. We present data from deaf individuals in 12 nuclear families originating from a small ...
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in late 2019, the causative agent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has undergone several mutations ...
Predictive value for survival of a risk model of two serological markers, beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), in diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL) No significant financial ...
SNP genotyping is an exciting field. The completion of the human genome sequencing project has enabled SNP research to move forward. SNP genotyping allows for further characterization of the human ...
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated the efficacy of diagnostic tests for identifying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) variants ...
