The advance makes it easier to detect circulating tumor DNA in blood samples, which could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and help guide treatment. Tumors constantly shed DNA from dying cells, which briefly […]
By combining genomics and gene editing, researchers have figured out how to rapidly bring a plant known as the groundcherry toward domestication. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and… groundcherries? A little-known fruit about […]
Bug Research Paves the Way for Search-and-Rescue and Exploration Tasks When they turn up in family pantries or restaurant kitchens, cockroaches are commonly despised as ugly, unhealthy pests and are quickly killed. […]
dSysMap (which stands for “Disease-mutations Systemic Mapping”) is a computational tool to interpret the effect of genetic mutations on the development of complex diseases. The tool allows researchers to explore how alterations […]
