New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...

Researchers say a new AI system can identify disease-causing mutations and explain their biological effects, potentially ...

A massive study of ancient genomes has revealed that natural selection acted on hundreds of human genes throughout recent ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes on the immune system. It reveals a previously hidden role for somatic ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

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 ...

Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.
