We introduce a methodology to assess differential abundance in sparse high-throughput microbial marker-gene survey data. Our approach, implemented in the metagenomeSeq Bioconductor package, relies ...

Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have identified a new genetic marker that could play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by two primary ...

US biotech firm Nucleus Genomics this week launched a first-of-its-kind service letting IVF parents select embryos based on their potential disease risk.

The largest gene-probing study ever done has found dozens of new genetic markers that flag a person's susceptibility to breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. But knowing these susceptibility ...

Analysis of data from more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis helped researchers identify a genetic variant that is associated with the severity of the disease ...

For the first time, a new gene editing technology called base editing was used to modify immune cells and successfully treat a teen with treatment-resistant leukemia. A month afterward, 13-year ...

A novel discovery in the field of pancreatic cancer treatment has been unveiled, revealing the epigenetic silencing of BEND4 as a potential synthetic lethal marker for enhancing the efficacy of ...

The gene may prove to be a useful marker for predicting which patients have the greatest risk of breast cancer recurrence so their doctors can offer the most appropriate treatment plan.

A newly identified genetic marker of disease severity in multiple sclerosis (MS) may eventually lead to better treatments.
