Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help scientists better interpret the human genome and understand how genetic changes ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...

Gene editing technology allows to introduce and correct disease-linked mitochondrial DNA mutations in liver and skin cells In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the ...

Scientists at Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, and the Department of Neurosciences and Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, have made a significant breakthrough in ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists report data from a new study providing evidence that random, unpredictable DNA copying "mistakes" account for nearly two-thirds of the mutations that ...

A research group led by The University of Osaka has discovered that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a crucial role in protecting the developing brain from harmful mutations. The study found that a ...
