Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a ...

A study explains how broken DNA during cell division can trigger chromoanasynthesis when two repair pathways combine, causing ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy is independently associated with an increased risk of CLL, suggesting potential as a novel biomarker for early risk identification.
