Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

OCTOBER 10, 2024, NEW YORK – A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome—one that contributes to ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Is Obesity Genetic or Environmental? Get All the Details This article was reviewed by Lynn Marie Morski, MD, JD. Key ...

In a big leap for genomics, Google on Wednesday unveiled a powerful AI model that predicts how single DNA mutations affect the complex machinery regulating gene activity. Named AlphaGenome, the tool ...

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 ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Experimental gene therapies like AMT‑130 lower toxic huntingtin protein and significantly slow Huntington’s disease, offering ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
