University of Wisconsin researchers Sushmita Roy and Erika Da-Inn Lee have developed a new computational tool that maps changes in the genome, ultimately helping researchers see DNA’s 3D organization and link it to phenetic disturbances in disease and normal processes, according to Roy and Lee’s study. The Roy lab is a biology group that develops...| The Badger Herald
Last month, a new research study published by a University of Wisconsin assistant professor in the La Follette School of Public Affairs Héctor Pifarreé i Arolas concluded that the average life expectancy in 23 high income countries is still increasing, but at a slower rate than before. The key takeaway from the study is that...| The Badger Herald
