Scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence–powered blood test that may be able to detect early signs of serious liver disease long before symptoms appear. The research was carried out by ...

A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes. But these tiny, saucer-shaped blood cells ...

Scientists from the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based method called "Fragle" that makes tracking cancer easier and faster using ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic ...

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MagBio Genomics, Inc., a company that focuses on magnetic bead-based nucleic acids sample preparation products for sequencing and molecular diagnostics, announces ...

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, ...

Liver disease is a growing health problem around the world, yet many people who develop it do not know they are sick until the disease has already become serious. Conditions such as liver fibrosis and ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...
