Genomic regulatory map of the zebrafish
Zebrafish and humans look very different on the outside. Yet about 70 percent of their genes are similar to human genes—including many that can trigger diseases. That makes the animal a popular model organism. Many observations of biological proces.....»»

New insight into how xeroderma pigmentosum causative gene products ensure the accuracy of DNA repair
Our genomic DNA is continuously damaged by endogenous factors such as reactive oxygen species, and also by environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, radiation, and chemicals. Failure to repair damaged DNA may induce mutations and cell death, e.....»»
Examining the long-term effects of data privacy violations
Regulatory bodies are taking potential data privacy violations much more seriously this year after a relatively quiet period that followed the enactment of regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer.....»»
