All mammals have basically the same set of genes, yet there are obviously some significant differences that distinguish the various species. Recent research suggests that one such difference involves ...

Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read sequencing ...

Researchers used long-read sequencing to examine the evolution of short tandem repeats and variable number tandem repeats, series of repeating nucleotide sequences that are among the most unstable ...

How often does cross-contamination occur? Cross-contamination is a critical issue in cell culture, with studies suggesting that up to 16-35% of all experiments are affected. This impacts research as ...
