DNA Methylation Linked to Depression in Middle-Aged and Elderly
More than 300 million people across the world suffer from depression, and while genetics contributes to depression risk, so do environmental factors such as adverse life events and stress, particularly among individuals who develop depression later in life. More...03 Aug 2018

New Target Protein for Colon Cancer Identified
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women in the USA. Pathogenic mediators that regulate CRC tumorigenesis are desirable biomarkers to predict prognosis, recurrence of the disease, and response to therapy to improve the management of patients with CRC.

Sequencing Produces Better Diagnostics for Pediatric Genetic Disease
Currently, chromosomal microarrays are the recommended first-line genomic tests for children with certain genetic diseases, which can be difficult to diagnose. However, whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing have become more common testing approaches in recent years. More...26 Jul 2018
