Detailed measurements of genes in individual brain cells allows scientists to trace specific developmental trajectories in the cerebellum Researchers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have created a massive database of the changes in gene activity of individual cells in ...

A new diagnostic tool is expected to result in better treatment of cancer that is difficult to diagnose. The tool was developed by cancer researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy and doctors at the...

This week, NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold became the first person to sequence RNA in space, another molecular milestone aboard the orbiting laboratory. Much of present-day science focuses on exploring...

Nearly 1 in 8 couples in the U.S. face infertility, and about half of those cases can be attributed to semen abnormalities in the male partner. As the root causes often remain a mystery, new research into the...

In a new study, researchers developed a gene expression predictor that can indicate whether melanoma in a specific patient is likely to respond to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors, a novel type of immunotherapy. The predictor was developed by Noam ...

Researchers from The Roslin Institute and the University of Chile investigated how expression of genes in salmon skin respond to infestation with...

How stem cells differentiate into the myriad diverse cell types that ultimately form tissues has been an area of extensive research. Studying this process at the population level unfortunately masks rare or...

Estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer is the most common type of breast cancer, but resistance to therapy is common and eventual development of metastatic disease is a leading cause of death. In new research published...

A comprehensive RNA and DNA sequencing platform benefits late-stage and drug-resistant multiple myeloma patients by determining which drugs would work best for them, according to results from a clinical trial published in JCO Precision Oncology in...

Cell lines form the backbone of cancer research. These individual groups of cells, typically collected from patients’ tumor samples and cultured to grow indefinitely in the laboratory, enable everything from basic genetic research to drug discovery...
