The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...

Mount Sinai scientists developed V2P, a powerful new AI tool that predicts how specific DNA mutations translate into disease, unlocking faster diagnoses and new targets for therapy.

When a zygote begins cell division at a rapid rate, errors happen, and a new study found that base pairs near a gene’s transcription state sites (TSS) are particularly vulnerable. By analyzing some ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

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 ...

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

Researchers have changed the way to look at DNA. They show that DNA is much more than a linear sequence of building blocks; it has a 3D structure that influences the variation of human genome-wide ...

The study, which was published in the journal Science Advances, links indoor tanning to a three-times greater risk of ...
