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 ...
A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...
Women of Kenya’s Turkana community often walk miles each day in scorching heat to collect water for their animals and ...
The RAS family commonly drives the growth and survival of human cancers. Mutations in KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS occur in approximately 20% of all human cancers, including solid tumors, such as pancreatic, ...
A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
A groundbreaking study published in this week’s issue of PNAS by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not randomly but more ...

Study suggests many viruses can infect humans without special mutations
Researchers at UC San Diego have found that several of the most dangerous zoonotic viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and ...
Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer's treatment. Subscribe to our newsletter ...
A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
This module is a replica of a strand of DNA for eye color using light patterns controlled by an Arduino. The four light colors, red, green, blue, and yellow, represent the four nucleotide base pairs, ...
