Research finds higher rate of rare tandem repeats in the genomes of individuals with schizophrenia

In our cells, the language of DNA is written, making each of us unique. A tandem repeat occurs in DNA when a pattern of one or more nucleotides – the basic structural unit of DNA coded in the base of chemicals cytosine (C), adenine (A), guanine (G) and thymine (T) – is repeated multiple times in tandem. An example might be: CAG CAG CAG, in which the pattern CAG is repeated three times.

USC researchers work with Polaris Dawn to study new approach to X-ray imaging in outer space

Today's spaceflights typically last a few days to a few months, so onboard medical treatment is mostly limited to first aid. But researchers are increasingly exploring new terrain - known as in-flight space medicine - that will be critical for maintaining astronauts' health during longer missions, such as the 21-month roundtrip to Mars.
