No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University Health System (NUHS), together with an international team ...

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 ...

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 ...

Women with certain genetic mutations are at extremely high risk of ovarian cancer. Now, some researchers are trying a new ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

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 ...

Scientists from UC Davis Center for Surgical Bioengineering, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab are developing ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...
