The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the ...

A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

They found an average of 2.65 clustered de novo mutations (cDNMs) per child, compared to 0.88 cDNMs in children of unexposed ...

CHILDREN of the Chernobyl “liquidators” who risked it all to clean up the toxic mess are now suffering the consequences, researchers revealed. Almost 40 years since the ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the immune system, while others help cancers hide. In this study, researchers ...

DNA has to be interpreted by cells. The letters or bases that make up genetic sequences are read in sets of three, and those three-base sequences are known as codons. Every codon encodes for one amino ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

Although the genetic cause of many diseases have been identified, it’s estimated that as many as 70% of patients with a rare disorder do not know what causes their disease. Millions of people live ...

"During National Cancer Prevention Month, I hope other men can learn from my experience." ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
