Researchers have found that a genetic mutation associated with a rare group of blood cancers does not always result in ...

CADASIL, an inherited disease caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, damages the brain’s small blood vessels, leading to ...

The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for ...

Researchers recently identified 12 genetic variants linked to longer lives, potentially paving the way for anti-aging ...

Biology has clever ways to mask the effects of potentially harmful gene mutations. Scientists are investigating how this ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...

DNA has to be interpreted by cells. The letters or bases that make up genetic sequences are read in sets of three, and those three-base sequences are known as codons. Every codon encodes for one amino ...

Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found. Working with ...

A team of scientists from the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University and institutions across the U.S.

A new technique, TF-High-Evolutionary (TF-HighEvo), allows large-scale assessment of de-novo mutations in multicellular organisms. Developed in collaboration with researchers from the European ...

C-to-T transitions in CpG dinucleotides are the most prevalent mutations in human cancers and genetic diseases. These mutations have been attributed to deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), an ...

Some house mice throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., carry genetic mutations that render ...
