Two studies presented at ASCO's annual meeting used ctDNA testing to determine which patient might benefit from anti-EGFR retreatment.

In many genetic diseases, a small error in the DNA code can have devastating effects. These errors, called nonsense mutations ...

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

Some letters in the recipe tell a ribosome where the recipe ends. They’re called stop codons. Two examples are UAG and UGA. When the ADAR proteins act on either of them, the ribosome reads them ...

Such premature stop codons account for around 11% of all inherited diseases, including cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. Scientists found that horses developed the ability to run through this ...

In humans, these premature stop codons are linked to around 11% of inherited diseases, including conditions like cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. Surprisingly, horses have evolved a workaround.

More significantly, some mutations create premature stop codons. The four nucleotides in mRNA form 64 unique codons, comprising 61 sense codons and 3 stop codons. Certain gene mutations can convert 18 ...

It basically put a stop sign, called a stop codon, toward the beginning of the KEAP1 gene. Stop codons generally signal where a gene ends, so having one at the start would "break" the gene. This ...

These findings may inform treatments for conditions involving oxidative stress and genetic diseases caused by premature stop codons, which affect approximately 11% of human genetic disorders. The ...

And to her, the paper also shows just how weird evolution can be. SAMANTHA BROOKS: Stop codons are generally, in genetics, considered to be bad news, and it really should have caused a ...
