DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Alzheimer's risk patients may benefit from Mediterranean keto diet, study shows gut microbiome changes

In a recent study published in the Journal of the Alzheimer's Association (AA), researchers examined the effects of a low-carbohydrate-modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MMKD) on the gut microbiome and metabolome of patients at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

DPE analysis may help improve the diagnosis and management of colorectal cancer

A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 10) on March 23, 2023, entitled, "New method of clustering colorectal cancer patients using differential presence of exons (DPE) sequencing."

New finding in roundworms upends classical thinking about animal cell differentiation

Researchers have spotted how specific proteins within the chromosomes of roundworms enable their offspring to produce specialized cells generations later, a startling finding that upends classical thinking that hereditary information for cell differentiation is mostly ingrained within DNA and other genetic factors.

3D structure of a probable precursor to the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme revealed

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA. Since the discovery of the CRISPR gene editing technology, scientists are revealing the evolution of the CRISPR-Cas proteins from their precursors.

New method estimates mutation risks due to residual radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster

Ionizing radiation from nuclear disasters are known to be harmful to the natural environment. The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant meltdown that occurred in 2011 is a prominent example of such a disaster in recent memory.

New report seeks to uncover attitudes, challenges facing colorectal cancer awareness and screening

To uncover attitudes and the biggest challenges facing colorectal cancer (CRC) awareness and screening, BGI Genomics today released its State of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Report, marking the first-ever global survey report on the world's third most common cancer.
