The inherited mutation substantially increases the chance of developing lung cancer, including in people who don't smoke.
Scientists have found a human gene lurking in a virus that causes skin infections. It may be using our own DNA to infect us.
Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this ...
A rare genetic mutation could help to explain why some people who don’t smoke still develop lung cancer.
From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...
A life without pain seems miraculous. But denying this hallmark of human existence could come with its own set of challenges.
The AlphaGenome Atlas charts the effects of 9 billion single DNA letter changes to the human genome — every possible mutation — using predictions generated by the AlphaGenome AI model released by ...
Tiny, striped zebrafish are helping scientists trace how a gene linked to albinism influences eye development, work that may ...
Different gene mutations may determine the severity of male infertility and influence reproductive options. Read more.
A genetic mutation that raises lung cancer risk was much more common among those born in Southeastern states than elsewhere ...
DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...
