by Vanderbilt University Medical Center Credit: CC0 Public DomainAn international genetic study using multiancestry biobanks has identified novel genetic locations associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common type of glaucoma and the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. The findings, published in Cell Reports Medicine, detail ancestry- and sex-specific genetic loci associated with POAG...
by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory An up-close look at a mouse’s liver; the cells with dark centers were turned cancerous using a new gene-editing strategy devised by Semir Beyaz’s lab. Credit: Beyaz lab/Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Mutations in our genes can lead to severe problems, like colon or liver cancer. But cancer is very complex. Mutations...
by Karolinska Institutet Fig. 1: The CTCFBS within the OSE-specific eRNA gene (CCAT1) confers a proliferative advantage to the HCT-116 cells. a The position of the CCAT1-specific CTCFBS within the OSE is indicated (black arrow). The core binding sequence was modified at 8 bases, as marked by gray boxes in the panel, by CRISPR editing....
