In genomes, three letters or bases of DNA encode an amino acid. Amino acids are then strung together by the cell to create proteins. There is some redundancy in that genetic code, but there are single ...

With its 2,214 amino acids and its dynamic lifestyle as an endosomal recycling receptor, SORL1 is rife with opportunities for mutations that could thwart its function. The size and splendor of this ...

Relationship Among DNA Damage Response Gene Alterations, Molecular Subtypes, and Survival Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Bladder Cancer Treated on CALGB 90601 Sequencing data from 56,965 ...

A comprehensive analysis of over 500,000 human protein variants reveals that 60% of disease-causing missense mutations reduce protein stability In a recent study published in Nature, researchers used ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu By combining deep evolutionary signals with human population data, the popEVE model provides a novel ...

Viruses need to infect their hosts’ cells in order to replicate. But the hosts tend to not want these pathogens utilizing their resources, killing their cells, and putting their lives in danger. As ...

Google DeepMind has wielded its revolutionary protein-structure-prediction AI in the hunt for genetic mutations that cause disease. A new tool based on the AlphaFold network can accurately predict ...
