With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a "second brain"—the ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

EVE combines evolutionary insights with human population data to identify damaging genetic mutations, improving variant ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

A team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has uncovered why children with the same ...

A new study has revealed that a single genetic mutation, found in all modern humans but absent in Neanderthals and Denisovans, could have played a role in the evolution of speech and language. The ...
