Some celebrities have eyes so striking that they become their signature feature. Whether it’s an unusual color, captivating ...

New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in cancer and identified cancer-driving mutations in an underexplored part of ...

Three start-ups are aiming to create gene-edited babies. Columnist Michael Le Page has no doubt that editing our offspring ...

A newly developed AI can predict which diseases specific genetic mutations are likely to cause, not just whether they are ...

Mount Sinai scientists developed V2P, a powerful new AI tool that predicts how specific DNA mutations translate into disease, unlocking faster diagnoses and new targets for therapy.

Research links variations in the gene GRIN2A to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness. The GRIN2A gene regulates communication between neurons by producing the ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

What happens to the thousands of intestinal cells that have tumour-initiating DNA mutations? A study in mouse models shows that most are eliminated by strong negative selection, but those that survive ...

The microbial toxin colibactin has just the right shape to snuggle up to DNA — but its embrace is unfortunately more cancerous than cozy. Colibactin is produced by bacteria in the gut and causes ...

London — Sperm from a donor who unknowingly carried a cancer-causing gene has been used to conceive nearly 200 babies across Europe, an investigation by 14 European public service broadcasters, ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable bacterial product causes mutations in DNA that have been linked to ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
