Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a ...

A study explains how broken DNA during cell division can trigger chromoanasynthesis when two repair pathways combine, causing erratic copying and large DNA duplications, offering potential targets for ...

Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on mutation processes that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic conditions ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Duke researchers find a surprising genetic source of lethal mutations in fruit flies, with possible implications for conservation and health Scientists have puzzled for decades over a basic ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

A woman in her late 20s presented with a 5-year history of progressive fatigue and generalised weakness. Examination revealed signs of premature ageing, anaemia, neuropathy and hepatosplenomegaly.

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
