After decades of fixating on mutations in nuclear DNA as the prime suspects in cancer development, researchers are increasingly peering into the cell’s powerhouse for clues. Mutations in mitochondrial ...

A mitochondrial DNA mutation passed down through the maternal line in some Venezuelan families has been linked to severe ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Researchers using next-generation DNA sequencing have identified four specific genes whose mutations are linked to the development and progression of lethal stomach cancers. This could potentially ...

Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study on artificial reproductive ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for ...

The DNA of Chernobyl cleanup workers showed mutations caused by radiation that were also evident in the genes of their ...

A Singapore study reveals that combined risk factors like age, smoking, and genetic mutations significantly amplify stomach ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

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, ...
