AI tool decodes brain cancer's genome during surgery: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Scientists have developed an AI tool that can rapidly decode a brain tumour's DNA to determine its molecular identity during surgery, critical information that can take a few days to a few weeks under the current approach.

Study finds how weaker immune response to viral infections in children wit
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discovered in a recent study that infants with mitochondrial abnormalities had altered B cell function, which resulted in a weaker and less varied antibody response to viral infections. Researchers at the National Human Genome Research

Effects of Neanderthal DNA that are still present in modern humans
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Recent research has shown that one to four percent of the genomes of contemporary humans, whose ancestors left Africa, contain Neanderthal DNA; nonetheless, it has remained unclear how much of those genes are still actively impacting human characteristics. A multi-institutional research tea

Lingering effects of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In a study published in eLife, the researchers reported that some Neanderthal genes are responsible for certain traits in modern humans, including several with a significant influence on the immune system. Overall, however, the study shows that modern human genes are winning out over success

Global primate genome study reveals their evolution and applications for h
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Two new investigations carried out by global scientists combine genome sequencing of over 800 individuals from 233 primate species, covering nearly half of all existing primate species on Earth, with the study of fossil remains and multiplying by four-fold the number of primate genomes avail

Study finds how intrinsically disordered proteins guard genome
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
The protection and preservation of the genetic material by tiny holes in the cell nucleus is crucial for healthy ageing. German researchers from the Synthetic Biophysics of Protein Disorder Group at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Department of Theoretical Biophysics at the Max P

Study discovers how genetic mutations contribute to adult epilepsy
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
bout 1 in 26 people have epilepsy, and the most common type, temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), is frequently ineffectively treated with anti-seizure drugs. Neurosurgery may be necessary for patients with this type of epilepsy in order to stop their seizures. Uncertainty surrounds the causes and

Study: Gene activity analysis aids in categorisation of brain disease
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Yashar Zeighami's research at McGill University in Canada provides a fresh method for characterising brain disorders. The study, published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, suggests that comparing transcriptomes (the map of activity for all genes in the genome) associated with differe

Fungal genetics might help develop new biotechnologies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Fungi, an integral component of the Earth's biological system, have long been employed to improve human life. While these creatures are still mostly unknown, a new research report argues that their distinct genomes could be used to advance the biotech sector.
