Innovative approach successfully traces genomic variants to genetic diseases

by
Human genetic diseases concept

The National Institutes of Healths evaluation of 13 studies demonstrated the effectiveness of a genotype-based approach to patient care, particularly for the identification of rare diseases. This approach helps uncover new gene-disease relationships, expands the symptomatology of known disorders, and offers insights into the disorders just described. It also promotes the transition from reactive to … Read more

Deciphering the neutrino mass mystery A new approach uses random matrix theory

by
Neutrino concept

Scientists have used random matrix theory to demonstrate theoretically that the neutrino mass hierarchy can be explained mathematically. When a substance is fragmented into smaller and smaller segments, eventually, you reach a point where division is no longer possible. At this point, you are left with a building block. To date, 12 distinct elementary particles … Read more
