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, ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and share much of our lives. They also share much of their biology with humans ...

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

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 ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, ...

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

A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way ...

A narrative review examines how generative AI tools such as large language models and vision-language models could assist precision oncology by interpreting genomic data, matching patients to clinical ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...
