A woman rafter was successfully rescued after being stranded on an island in the Lehigh River in Mahoning Township Tuesday afternoon.
Township fire Chief Mark Ebbert said the incident occurred around.
A recent publication from researchers at the University of Kentucky explains the importance of identifying and understanding how differences between tissues and cells alter gene expression without changing the underlying genetic code. Introductory biology classes teach that DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. However, many cellular processes affect how quickly transcription and translation occur in a tissue or cell. Gene expression looks at the differences in RNA concentrations within a cell, and can help scientists know which genes are active within that tissue or cell.

A Sanders-Brown researcher was part of a team who worked to identify genetic variants more accurately in genomic regions known to be involved in disease. In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all genetic information for an organism. The basis of the study was that the repetitive nature and complexity of some medically relevant genes poses a challenge to accurately analyze in a clinical setting. The study was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.
