New understanding of the TMEJ pathway in cancer

Drug Target Review

Throughout the course of our lives, natural and environmental factors can break DNA. Breaks in both DNA strands are a particularly dangerous threat to genome stability. At a DNA double-strand break (DSB), potentially lost sequence information cannot be recovered from the same DNA molecule.

Eclectic Genomics: Cat Flu, Dolphin Adaptation to Climate Change, Predicting Cancer, and Diagnosing Rare Disease

PLOS: DNA Science

Genomics applies to all species, revealing evolution in action, because we all use the same genetic code – that is, the correspondence between DNA sequences and the amino acid sequences of proteins. Cats and Bird Flu Comparing DNA sequences is a little like linguistic research that connects languages.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

Welcome to Asimov Press

Codon

Recombinant DNA technologies were invented in the 1970s. A first draft of the human genome was completed in 2003. In Switzerland, although evidence for the efficacy of iodized salt was robust, some eminent scientists spoke out against the interventions—advocating for elaborate alternative treatments.
