Scientists have discovered huge, mysterious pieces of DNA in the oral microbiome — the population of bacteria and other microbes living in our mouths — and they say this giant DNA might influence the human immune system. It’s well known that we have plenty of bacteria in our mouths and that these microbes can have both positive and negative impacts …

They don’t know what they don’t know.  Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo are not the Giants’ best players — not yet, anyway — but the contact-seeking rookies have injected a level of naivety into a locker room that had been unmistakably energy-zapped by years of losing.  It could be felt everywhere late Thursday night after the Giants stunned the Eagles …

Scientists can search the archives and trace biological contexts in big data.Credit: Andrew Brookes/Connect Images/Science Photo Library The Internet has Google. Now biology has MetaGraph. Detailed today in Nature1, the search engine can quickly sift through the staggering volumes of biological data housed in public repositories. “It’s a huge …

Toronto’s Subway Deer Enigma Unmasked With DNA Analysis  The New York Times Source link

The overall structure of a chromosome can be divided first into large territories, then into more specialized compartments, and then into topologically associating domains, known as TADs. These TADs are often thought of as functional or regulatory “neighborhoods” that put related DNA sequences together. Loops are smaller structures within them that do the finer-scale work of bringing separated parts of …

Researchers have discovered a key molecular process that may contribute to chronic inflammation as we age. If this process can be accurately targeted, it could unlock ways to stay healthier in our later years. The discovery centers on the unique strands of DNA contained within our mitochondria, the power stations of our cells. By banishing their ‘mtDNA’ into the surrounding …

A new study found that artificial intelligence could design DNA for all kinds of dangerous proteins, and do it in such a way that DNA manufacturers’ biosecurity screening measures would not reliably catch them.

Sample collection All enrolled patients were consented to an institutional biospecimen banking protocol and MSK-IMPACT testing42, and all analyses were performed per a biospecimen research protocol. Eligible patients had International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III to IV HGSOC with diagnosis verified through clinicopathological review. All protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer …
