TbID-based proteomic profiling in meiotic cells helps identify proximate proteins in A. thaliana

During meiosis, reshuffling of genetic information between homologous chromosomes through meiotic recombination creates variable gametes and hence genetic variation in offsprings.

Study highlights the need to offer genetic testing as standard of care for people with cerebral palsy

A Geisinger meta-analysis of recent research on the genetics of cerebral palsy (CP) provides evidence that genetic testing should be offered as the standard of care for people with the disorder, similar to current recommendations for individuals with other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).
