Rare diseases, defined by FDA as “a disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 people in the United States” (1), may ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

Can we take genetic "pills" for disease-related mutations? No, not yet, but our knowledge of the human genome sequence has enabled the development of other gene-based therapeutic approaches.

New research shows that a large, ubiquitous mobile genetic element changes the antagonistic weaponry of Bacteroides fragilis, a common bacterium of the human gut. Bacteria evolve rapidly in the human ...

Using models of vertical inheritance and horizontal transfer, they found that low doses of tetracycline, ampicillin, kanamycin, and streptomycin stabilize resistance and promote gene transfer across ...

The illustration shows how high trafficking of blood stem cells in the circulation early post-natally allows lentiviral-vector mediated in vivo gene transfer. “After birth, blood stem cells need to ...

Viruses living on plastic surfaces may help transfer antibiotic resistance genes among microbes in the environment.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Stress-induced mutagenesis has been observed in multiple species of bacteria and yeast. It has been suggested that in asexual populations, a ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that results from mutations in the DMD gene. Gene therapies for DMD change genetic material in a person’s body to treat this condition.
