Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Extensive toxicological and epidemiological research has shown that these carcinogens cause DNA damage, mutational signatures ...

A new study isolated DNA from the tumours of 500 cats across 13 different tumour types and mapped the sequence of 1,000 genes often found mutated in human cancers.

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...
