Various approaches have been developed to identify and quantitate copy-number variation. A new, high-resolution approach that already shows promise is digital PCR. As illustrated by many research ...

The evolution of the MUC7 gene, which encodes a saliva protein, was studied by scientists at the University at Buffalo. To capture the gene’s proline-, threonine-, and serine-rich tandem repeat copy ...

“Such knowledge on physiological decline throughout pregnancy and the remarkable rejuvenation right after delivery will assist with revolutionizing our approach to treating the elderly.” “We ...

We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

A phase II study of biweekly oxaliplatin and S-1(SOX) as first-line combination therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

Association of SPARC expression with metastatic progression and prostate cancer-specific mortality after radical prostatectomy. Post-treatment alterations in 18F-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) and FDG PET ...

Copy number variation (CNV) refers to an increase or decrease in the number of copies of a DNA sequence in a genome, which can subsequently be implicit in promoting aberrant gene expression patterns ...
