Aug. 23, 2023 — What was once the final frontier of the human genome -- the Y chromosome -- has just been mapped out in its entirety. Scientists used advanced sequencing technologies to read out the full DNA ...
Apr. 8, 2021 — A full assembly of human chromosome 8 has now been completed. Its DNA content and arrangement are of interest in primate and human evolution, in several immune and developmental disorders, and in ...
Apr. 20, 2022 — A new study of genetic data of more than 400,000 UK adults has revealed a clear link between walking pace and a genetic marker of biological ...
Dec. 2, 2021 — DNA damage signaling induced by aging telomeres increases the expression of ACE2, the human SARS-CoV-2 cell receptor, scientists ...
Mar. 22, 2023 — Changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer's disease are associated with shortening of the telomeres -- the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that shorten as cells age -- according to a ...
Sep. 22, 2022 — A new mechanism that slows down and may even prevent the natural aging of immune cells -- one of the nine 'hallmarks of ageing' -- has been identified by an international ...
Aug. 23, 2023 — Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the ...
Mar. 12, 2021 — Scientists identified a new function of ADAR1, a protein responsible for RNA editing, discovering that the ADAR1p110 isoform regulates genome stability at chromosome ends and is required for ...
Oct. 31, 2023 — Researchers introduce the 'Telomouse'. By making a subtle genetic alteration in standard lab mice, they've made the mouse telomeres, which protect the chromosome ends, more closely ...
May 24, 2021 — One of the first studies to examine telomere length (TL) in childhood finds that the initial setting of TL during prenatal development and in the first years of life may determine one's TL ...
