Mutations in Genes That Modify DNA Packaging Result in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
November 11, 2012 — A worldwide group of collaborators has found that the way DNA is packaged in people with this form of muscular dystrophy may be responsible for their disease. A genetic error allows the DNA wrapping ... > full story -
Humans, Chimpanzees and Monkeys Share DNA but Not Gene Regulatory Mechanisms
November 6, 2012 — Up to 40 percent of the differences in the expression or activity patterns of genes between humans, chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys can be explained by regulatory mechanisms that determine whether and ... > full story -
New Findings on Gene Regulation and Bone Development
November 5, 2012 — The patients have single short fingers (metacarpals) and toes (metatarsals) and can be restricted in growth due to a shortened skeleton. This hereditary disease is called brachydactyly type E. Now, ... > full story -
How to Make Stem Cells: Nuclear Reprogramming Moves a Step Forward
October 29, 2012 — The idea of taking a mature cell and removing its identity (nuclear reprogramming) so that it can then become any kind of cell, holds great promise for repairing damaged tissue or replacing bone ... > full story -
