Study challenges the assumption that all South African Bantu speakers are a single genetic entity
Almost 80% of South Africans speak one of the SEB family languages as their first language. Their origins can be traced to farmers of West-Central […]

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that mutations in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 have occurred and spread, but what effect […] In a methodologically trailblazing paper published in the journal Nature Genetics, a team of Belgian scientists uncovered an assembly of coronavirus host factors that may […] Strategies based on the use of gene therapy to mitigate the effects of mutations that cause blindness are undergoing rapid development. Novel gene vectors now […] Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) uses mRNA from a sample to create complementary DNA (cDNA) fragments for amplification and sequencing using high-throughput sequencing technology. […] Most cases of Moebius syndrome are spontaneous, with no family history and no known genetic cause. In certain rare cases, the disorder has been associated […] Autism spectrum disorder is a complex, behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder that affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States. Image Credit: Chinnapong/Shutterstock.com […] Cancer driver genes are those with mutations that are essential for tumor development and spread. Led by ICREA researcher Patrick Aloy, scientists from the Structural […] Analysis of the genomes of 28,000 tumors from 66 types of cancer has led to the identification of 568 cancer driver genes Performed by the […] Researchers studying the mystery of why some weightlifters’ muscles grow much more quickly than others’ have found new answers through a novel experiment in which […]
