Altered activity of ancient viral genes were linked to neurodegenerative diseases including ALS in a recent analysis.

They found that mutations in STAG2 lead to alterations in the DNA structure in AML cells. These changes impair normal gene ...

Cannabis containing 10% or more of the psychoactive compound THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), can alter the DNA (1 Trusted Source Methylomic signature of current cannabis use in two ...

Compared to DNA sequencing alone, concurrent DNA and RNA sequencing revealed more clinically actionable variants in NSCLC.

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

Results showed that cannabis users who had never experienced psychosis showed different DNA changes than those who had, meaning that cannabis could alter DNA in ways that increase susceptibility ...

The effects of cannabis on the brain might be far more profound than previously thought. A new study shows that this plant ...

Identification of pathogenic DNA sequence alterations in patients with inherited diseases is one of the main tasks of human genetics. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques enable sequencing ...
