Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers from Radboud university medical center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

New research provides a mechanistic map of how genetic mutations disrupt RNA splicing in acute myeloid leukemia.

The topographical features of DNA in the body may dictate where and when cancer-causing mutations appear in its code. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Artificial intelligence firm Google DeepMind has adapted its AlphaFold system for predicting protein structure to assess whether a huge number of simple mutations are harmful. The adapted system, ...

Researchers have developed a novel genome editing technique known as NICER, which results in significantly fewer off-target mutations than CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The technique uses a different type of ...

The stray dogs that roam the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have become unlikely protagonists in a scientific debate about how life ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...
