Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

Identifying and classifying gene mutations - which are the permanent changes in a person's DNA genetic code - are critical in better understanding, and with research, eventually treating or preventing ...

Khaberni - Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster, a new study reveals clear evidence of some effects of radiation exposure being passed to the next generation. Research ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...
