Thymine deletions or insertions: The loss or gain of one or more thymine bases in the DNA sequence. These mutations can have various consequences, such as altering the amino acid sequence of proteins, ...

The number of mitochondrial DNA copies may drop as MS progresses, suggesting a possible biomarker for disease progression, a ...

"SPARXS enables us to study large sequence libraries, providing new insights into how the structure and function of DNA depend on sequence. Additionally, the technique can be used to quickly find ...

Now, a team of researchers, led by Penn State biologists, has comprehensively predicted the location of non-B DNA structures in great apes. It's the first step in understanding the functions and ...
