Strawberries are notoriously soft and highly perishable, posing challenges to global production. Recent research has ...

EXCLUSIVE: Skin cancers can be among the most aggressive forms of the disease so using drugs to shrink them must be used with ...

Any mutation in the gene can change the structure of the channel ... it was the first time a single letter difference in human DNA - called a single-nucleotide polymorphism - had been found to ...

SNP microarrays, which allow the advantage of detecting known and unknown mutations with higher resolution and sensitivity, become a powerful tool for detecting genome-wide genetic changes with ...

On evaluation, the DETECTR® assay displayed 100% concordance for all three SNP mutations and 100% efficacy for lineage classification compared to viral whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

Now, Aran is senior study author of a publication announcing the development of CRISPR-SNP-Chip, which can identify single point mutations in genomic DNA, without requiring the sample that's being ...

CRISPR-based "SNP-Chip" can detect and quantify point mutations directly from unamplified DNA without optical instruments.

In fact, SNP-Chip stands to enable easy and point-of-care electronic screening for a wide range of genetically driven health issues, since SNPs make up 50 percent of mutations known to cause ...

Now just two years later, she has expanded on its application to develop CRISPR-SNP-Chip, which enables detection of single point mutations without amplification in Sickle Cell Disease and ...
