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

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 have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Digital transformation is reshaping industries across the globe, redefining how businesses operate and compete. From AI-powered automation to advanced data analytics, organizations now have powerful ...

Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...

Concern surrounding the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 influenza virus currently circulating in dairy cows in the United States is growing. A total of 58 human cases have been reported as of ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...
