DNA-Based Analysis Detects Group A Streptococcus
As an exclusively human pathogen, Group A Streptococcus (GAS; Streptococcus pyogenes) is spread in the community through direct human-to-human transmission and GAS can also colonize a healthy host without any apparent clinical signs or symptoms. More...27 Oct 2016
Gene Activity Mapping Points to Two Subtypes of Crohn's Disease
Gene activity studies have found that there are two clinically relevant forms of Crohn's disease that are defined by molecular signatures that are not linked to tissue sampling location, patient age, or treatment status. More...26 Oct 2016
Strange Chimeras Defy Scientific Understanding of Human Genetics
The human genome is far more complex than thought, with genes functioning in an unexpected fashion that scientists have wrongly assumed must indicate cancer as gene fusions and their encoded products fusion ribonucleic acids (RNAs) and proteins are viewed as one of the hallmarks of cancer.

New Genetic Links Identified for Heart Disease Risk Factors
Genetics have been implicated in cardiovascular and blood diseases for some time, however as these are complex diseases, it is extremely difficult to find specific genetic causes, but large scale genomic datasets can be used to help identify potential novel biological targets for studying cardiovascular and other diseases. More...14 Oct 2016
Field Test Allows Rapid Diagnosis of Chikungunya Virus Infection
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection causes symptoms that are similar to Dengue and Zika as well as other viral diseases, including influenza and accurate diagnosis of CHIKV is important for effective outbreak responses, including patient management and mosquito control. More...12 Oct 2016
