New Fingerprint Assay Accurately Identifies Users of Heroin and Cocaine
A test protocol based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis accurately detects levels of illegal drugs in a single fingerprint from drug users while eliminating those who had only passive contact with a drug user. More...02 Apr 2018
Chromosome Interaction Profiling Reveals Cancer Risk Genes
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with two main subtypes defined by the presence (ER+) or absence (ER−) of the estrogen receptor. Approximately 80% of newly diagnosed breast cancers are ER+ although this proportion varies with age at diagnosis and ethnicity. More...29 Mar 2018
Circulating Blood Markers Identified for Abnormal Heart Rhythms
The irregular heart rhythm atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, but is often undiagnosed because of a lack of symptoms. AF increases the risk of developing strokes, heart failure, and even dementia. More...29 Mar 2018
Synesthesia Family Exomes Lead to Rare Gene Variants
Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon that causes unusual links between sensory experiences, and its molecular basis is completely unknown. Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. More...22 Mar 2018
Typhoid Fever Bacteria Sequencing Reveals Drug Resistance Genes
Antibiotic resistance is a major problem in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates are prevalent in parts of Asia and Africa and are often associated with the dominant H58 haplotype. More...21 Mar 2018
