Pan-Cancer Study Reveals Extrachromosomal DNA Frequency

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are circular DNA found in human, plant and animal cells in addition to chromosomal DNA. eccDNA originate from chromosomal DNA and can be from 50 base pairs to several mega-base pairs in length and encode regulatory elements and several full genes. More...

Newborn Exome Sequencing Locates Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) form a large class of genetic diseases involving congenital disorders of metabolism. The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substrates into others products. More...
