Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) methods reveal the presence of bacterial DNA in surgical specimens of hip and knee arthritis from patients having first-time total joint arthroplasty.
Lead author Carolyn Elya, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard, describes the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the ability of the parasitic fungus Entomophthora muscae (E. muscae) to influence the behaviour of fruit flies i
According to a study, next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) methods reveal the presence of bacterial DNA in surgical specimens of hip and knee arthritis from patients having first-time total joint arthroplasty.
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
The study, recently published in the peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was led by doctoral student Shai Torgeman and professor Dani Zamir from the Hebrew University Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Single-stranded molecules called ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are crucial components of every living thing's cells. As "transcripts" of our genes, mRNAs, for instance, play a role in the translation of genetic information by carrying the instructions for the production of a protein in their own
Gent (Belgium & Boston) [US]/ Hyderabad (Telagana) [India], April 20 (ANI/BusinessWire India): Excelra, a leading life science data and digital solutions provider, has acquired BISC Global, a bioinformatics and data analytics consulting company with offices across Europe and the USA. The

New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.
To acquire insight into the degree to which genes are "turned on" and perform tasks in the body, a person's RNA landscape must be mapped to a standard reference. However, when the reference does not provide enough information to allow for correct mapping, researchers may encounter a problem
