Dengue Virus Study IDs Mutation Linked to Attenuated Disease
Researchers identified a single amino acid change in a dengue virus type 2 strain from Tonga that led to reduced viremia in mammalian cells.
Initial findings from the country's 10-year National Precision Medicine program could yield genetic tests tailored to Asian populations within Singapore and abroad.
Making use of 10x Genomics' feature barcoding technology, the method can identify high, medium, and low levels of protein secretion, as well as changes over time.
Leadership Roles Linked to Increased Bipolar Disorder Risk in New GWAS
The study uncovered genetic ties between holding a leadership position and intelligence, but also with mental health-related traits.
