Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for therapeutics. Among them, the Y220C mutation is the ninth most frequent and it ...

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common ...

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...

The prostate is the single organ most frequently afflicted by cancer in men. Prostate cancer affects approximately 4 million ...

Clones grown from embryo plants in culture. A UC Davis study shows that clones grown in this way can have 35 times as many mutations in their DNA as plants propagated from cuttings and grown in a ...
