A powerful new cancer map tracks hundreds of mutations to one escape route and exposes a drug target
Diseases like cancer or neurodegeneration are known to arise from genetic misfires. But treating such complex conditions hasn ...
The key to understanding how the most aggressive lymphomas arise and resist current therapies may lie in mutations that disrupt a critical natural selection process among antibody-producing B cells, ...

A new platform for studying mtDNA mutations implicated in human disease could help accelerate treatments for mitochondrial ...
The study, by Dr Greg Ngo and Professor Duncan Baird from Cardiff University’s School of Medicine, reveals the mechanism behind chromoanasynthesis, a catastrophic type of chromosome rearrangement that ...
The human body develops from one fertilized cell, and in some way, all of our cells are derived from that first one. But as those cells develop and multiply, they can pick up genetic mutations. Our ...
Two bacteriologists showed that mutations arise spontaneously in bacterial cultures, thereby disproving Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of evolution. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
SARS-CoV-2 mutations similar to those in the B1.1.7 UK variant could arise in cases of chronic infection, where treatment over an extended period can provide the virus multiple opportunities to evolve ...
This is the fourth in a series examining the past, present, and future of the pandemic and viral variants. In our discussion of SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains, it is important to reflect on how viral ...
The precise transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next is fundamental to life. Most of the time, this process unfolds with remarkable accuracy, but when it goes awry, ...

Why lethal mutations persist: Fruit fly study points to newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors
Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
