In the 15 December Science, Vision et al. find that four large-scale duplication events, followed by gene loss, have shaped the Arabidopsis genome (Science 2000, 290:2114-2116). The duplication events ...

Deletions and duplications of single-base pairs typically arise during homologous recombination and cause diseases. But what happens when a mutation occurs over multiple genes? Deletions involve ...

Adding to the list of issues that can occur with CRISPR, a team of researchers now reports a high frequency of unwanted duplications while engineering genetic insertions in mice. Worryingly to the ...

PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), a leading provider of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing platforms, today announced a newly published study in Nature Communications unveiling a powerful new method for ...

When a gene gets duplicated, it often leads to the recipe being followed too many times, and the resulting “leftovers,” the ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate cardiac development, are linked to nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve disease ...

One of the key findings of the study is the role of whole-genome duplications in chelicerate evolution. These events, which resulted in the duplication of entire genomes, have been identified in ...

The Election Commission is initiating a mission-mode exercise to remove duplicate EPIC numbers in voter databases within two ...
