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 ...

“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 ...

SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution) Generating genome sequence data from six additional C. psl. strains that differed markedly in the size of their genomes ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more copies ...

All modern Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite in humans, are descendants of one initial infection and so are very closely related, with relatively limited genetic differences. A ...
