UC San Diego professor Ludmil Alexandrov will lead an international team of scientists awarded $25 million to research cancer mutations. The award comes from Cancer Grand Challenges, a collaboration ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

A woman in her late 20s presented with a 5-year history of progressive fatigue and generalised weakness. Examination revealed signs of premature ageing, anaemia, neuropathy and hepatosplenomegaly.

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, something has concerned scientists: can exposure to radiation leave marks in someone’s DNA that are passed on to ...

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

The PhD student with a background in physics, is not only focused on the performance of statistical models for genomic predictions but is also keen on understanding the underlying biological ...
