Metabolic engineering is the use of genetic engineering to modify the metabolism of an organism. It can involve the optimization of existing biochemical pathways or the introduction of pathway ...

Patients were previously met with fragmented care, limited access to genetic testing and a lack of integrated counselling, OGS clinical director Beau Fenner said. The care was also focused on ...

Engineering Biology (EngBio) is an emerging field at the confluence of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, AI and Data Science. It has the potential to provide innovative solutions to these challenges by ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

“It’s only when the repeat becomes extremely long that it begins to cause harm,” said co-senior author Steve McCarroll, an institute member and director of genomic neurobiology at the Stanley Center ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Radiation-induced mutation is ...

There are three types of genetic operations that can then be performed: Crossovers represent the reproduction and crossover seen in biology, whereby a child takes on certain characteristics of its ...
