Mapping Multiplicity Mathematically - New Algorithm Predicting Disease Susceptibility and Drug Response

Every copy of the human genome generally consists of the same set of genes, but considerable variability exists between individuals at the sequence level. Variations can include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in which one DNA base is substituted for another; or copy-number variations (CNVs), in which entire blocks of gene sequence are deleted or duplicated. Individual variations can alter the function or activity of affected genes, and thus have important health implications.

Shedding Light on Molecular Mechanism Responsible for Fluorescent and Dark States of Protein

Some organic substances have a property called photochromism, meaning that their absorption spectrum, or color, changes when they are exposed to certain types of light. In particular, a new artificial protein called Dronpa shows great promise for applications because it can be switched back and forth between a 'bright' state and a 'dark' state.
