The research team has developed a computer program that tracks the history of harmful mutations in the human genome throughout evolution. Mutations can be good and…
The researchers believe that they can exploit this new physics law and find the probability of mutations before they take place. A University of Portsmouth…
Synonymous mutations have long been thought to have relatively no impact. A new study finds that most “silent” mutations are harmful rather than neutral. Marshall…
Researchers have revealed the cellular mysteries behind aging. A new explanation for aging has been developed by researchers who have shown that genetic abnormalities that…
A new study sheds light on the mysterious connection between non-coding mutations and cancer risk, pointing to potential drug targets to lower the risk for…
New SARS-CoV-2 variants are expected since the virus is continually evolving. The Alpha variant first appeared in early 2021, and the Delta variant emerged later…
To better understand and perhaps prevent cancers brought on by multiple genetic mutations, Rice University researchers are constructing a theoretical framework. A new theory suggests…
Researchers at EMBL Heidelberg found that inversions in the human genome are more common than previously thought, which impacts our understanding of certain genetic diseases.…
The study could serve as the basis for novel strategies to ensure that future generations are not affected by such diseases. Existing treatments are palliative,…
