Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

In a big leap for genomics, Google on Wednesday unveiled a powerful AI model that predicts how single DNA mutations affect the complex machinery regulating gene activity. Named AlphaGenome, the tool ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

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 many genetic diseases, ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth ...
