New tool reveals DNA structures that influence disease

Disruption of certain DNA structures — called topologically associating domains, or TADs — is linked with the development of disease, including some cancers. With its newly created algorithm that quickly locates and helps elucidate the complex functions of TADs, an international team of researchers is making it easier to study these important structures and help prevent disease.

Icefish Study Adds Another Color to the Story of Blood

The Antarctic blackfin icefish is the only known vertebrate animal that lacks red blood cells containing hemoglobin. But the use of hemoglobin to transport oxygen through the body is actually a rarity among invertebrates, which rely on a variety of other pigments in their versions of blood.
