Association of BTN2A1+ microvesicles with overall survival and the role of γδ T cells as a potential therapeutic target in patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer. This is an ASCO ...

The evolution of treatment patterns in patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC) and clinical outcomes: Results of a longitudinal observational cohort study in ...

Scientists have discovered an association between a variant in the synaptonemal complex protein, SYCE2, and pregnancy loss through the effects of recombination. An international collaboration led by ...

Researchers headed by teams at Newcastle University, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and the Great North Children’s Hospital have identified a single gene mutation common to 11 pediatric patients with ...

Conventional wisdom holds that sexual reproduction evolved because it enables organisms to shuffle, or recombine, different alleles (versions of a gene) in the next generation, producing the genetic ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination. In ...

A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...

Supergenes that lock inherited traits together are widespread in nature. Recent work shows that their blend of genetic benefits and risks for species can be complex. Thousands of miles from home in ...
