Osaka, Japan – When creating a computer program, errors in the code can introduce bugs to the software. Similarly, errors in our body’s genetic code, DNA, which is stored in structures known as ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have demonstrated an intriguing new variation on the CRISPR gene-editing system, which involves fixing a mutation on one chromosome by ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

Chromosomal aberrations, encompassing both structural and numerical chromosome abnormalities, are fundamental indicators of genomic instability with far‐reaching implications for cancer risk. These ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

It is crucial in the development of cell and gene therapies to understand the impact of the gene editing process on chromosomal structure. When cells are edited, differentiated, modified, or ...

A woman had cancer 5 times before she turned 36, the first time when she was two. A study found she has never-before-seen mutations that were thought to be impossible to survive. It shows the ...

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
