An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations ...

Researchers confirmed that sperm accumulate mutations over the years, increasing the risk of transmitting diseases to ...

An international research team, led by Shinghua Ding at the University of Missouri, has identified a previously unknown ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

Scientists using TwinsUK data and ultra‑precise DNA sequencing have uncovered rare DNA mutations in healthy tissue that could ...

New Cleveland Clinic research reveals that up to 5% of Americans—approximately 17 million people—carry genetic mutations or ...

For Sakura Tafoya, it started with a header. The Santa Fe girl and her family were playing soccer on a fall day in 2021. Sakura, then 4, tried out a move she’d seen other kids do: hitting the ball ...

Scientists have identified mutations in the CPD gene as a key cause of a rare congenital hearing loss, revealing how ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

Scientists have corrected gene mutations in mice causing an ultra-rare disease by editing DNA directly in the brain with a single injection, a feat with profound implications for patients with ...

Scientists in Helsinki studied nearly 400 dog families to see how new DNA mutations arise in puppies. They found that older parents, especially fathers, pass on more genetic changes. The research ...
