By analysing the expression of 28 genes, researchers have been able to identify which organs are most vulnerable to infection from COVID-19.
Scientists observed that different cancers undergo the same genetic mutations at similar stages of evolution, the findings could become part of an ‘evolutionary rule book’ which would theoretically enable the prediction and prevention of cancer’s next evolutionary move.
A genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 sequences reveal the virus has mutated minimally since December 2019, suggesting only one vaccine is needed to combat COVID-19.
The global network of centers will investigate where pathogens emerge and how they adapt to cause disease in humans, in the hopes of increasing our preparedness for future disease outbreaks.
Researchers reveal that activating the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) and CD74 genes protected cells against infection by Ebola and SARS-CoV-2.
Researchers report that while the spike protein and RNA polymerase proteins have stabilised, other regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome are becoming increasingly variable.
Computational analysis has been used by researchers to examine 66 types of cancer and identify 568 genes that drive tumour development.
A team has found that a mutation in the ATAXIN-1 gene causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), presenting a drug target for the condition.

Therapeutic oligonucleotides represent a recent breakthrough in the pharmaceutical industry.
Therapeutic oligonucleotides represent a recent breakthrough in the pharmaceutical industry. However, characterisation of oligos, specifically by ion-pair reversed phase liquid chromatography (IPRPLC), can be quite challenging.
