The most dramatic phenotypes tend to be lost, as gross perturbations of immunity are likely to kill mice in a colony before the causal mutations achieve fixation by chance. Genetic differences are ...

Researchers at Texas Biomed have identified nine mutations in a strain of bird flu found in a person in Texas. Bad news: This ...

The mouse model closely mimics the specific dysferlin mutation and resulting disease, and enabled the researchers to evaluate how the complete therapy works—taking muscle stem cells, correcting ...

Mutations in one of the first human-isolated strains of H5N1 bird flu in the US were identified by the Texas Biomedical ...

One of the earliest strains of bird flu isolated from a human in Texas shows a unique constellation of mutations that enable ...

It’s essentially been unknown.” Introducing individual mutations to mtDNA is challenging due to the large number of mitochondria within each cell. Instead, the researchers used a leukemia mouse model ...

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal ...
