Mutation of the MMR genes cause alterations in the length of simple repetitive genomic sequences (microsatellite instability, MSI). MSI analysis has been a useful tool for HNPCC screening and for ...

Gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can guide treatment options, and machine learning can rapidly guess the existence of gene mutations based on images of leukemia cells.

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a ...

Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. "Jumping genes" are one cause of mutations, but cells try and combat them with a specialized RNA called piRNA.

Tumor suppressor genes act as “brakes” to stop cells before they can travel down the road to cancer. A loss of function mutation in these genes can be disastrous. Like all genes, tumor ...

By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease-causing gene mutation with a single infusion ... like those used in Covid vaccines, were infused into their blood. The nanoparticles did not ...

"Perhaps we will soon be able to tailor vaccines to tip the scales either toward mutation or cloning." The downsides of evolution Vaccines and infections alike lead to the construction of germinal ...
