Expanded repetitive sequences are infamous for causing inherited disease. Think poly-Q tracts that cause Huntington’s or the C9orf72 hexanucleotide run-ons that trigger ALS/FTD. However, given people ...
Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have found that repeated DNA sequences in the genome may contribute to an individual's risk ...
Researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. If longer than a certain threshold length, these sequences grow in length ...
Armed with base editors, scientists from the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, professor and director of the Merkin Institute of Transformative Technologies in Healthcare at the Broad Institute, and their ...
