A new generation of artificial intelligence is starting to read the human genome with a fluency that would have sounded like science fiction a decade ago. Instead of scanning DNA for one mutation at a ...

A Michigan State University researcher's new model for studying breast cancer could help scientists better understand why and where cancer metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek who teaches in the MSU ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Melkani’s lab study, titled "Time-restricted feeding promotes muscle function through purine cycle and AMPK signaling in Drosophila obesity models,” was recently published in Nature Communications.

Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases may depend to a large extent on variations in our genomes, but the influence on the presentation of certain pathological traits of genetic variants ...

A Florida state legislator sponsored the nation's first state-backed genetic screening program after his son died from a rare ...

Researchers discover that while artificial intelligence (AI) tools can make accurate diagnoses from textbook-like descriptions of genetic diseases, the tools are significantly less accurate when ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...
