Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

A mitochondrial DNA mutation passed down through the maternal line in some Venezuelan families has been linked to severe ...

The DNA of Chernobyl cleanup workers showed mutations caused by radiation that were also evident in the genes of their ...

OCTOBER 10, 2024, NEW YORK – A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome—one that contributes to ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

A small change to a powerful molecular tool — using the CRISPR-Cas13 enzyme, which can detect RNA from viruses and cells — ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Flinders University researchers have discovered a rare genetic mutation that could explain why some people do not respond to ...

Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
