Researchers confirmed that sperm accumulate mutations over the years, increasing the risk of transmitting diseases to ...

The findings show that disease-causing mutations were found in around 2% of the sperm from men in their early 30s, increasing ...

A novel technique that uses a simple cheek swab to detect gene mutations in healthy tissue could emerge as a "useful tool for cancer prevention", researchers have suggested. Experts anticipate that ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Not only do mutations occur at higher rates in older men, the data showed, but some are ' selfish ' – giving the cells that ...

A research group from the National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) has found that an alteration in the POT1 gene prevents lung tissue from regenerating, which over time makes breathing difficult. The ...

In a recent perspective published in the journal Cell Death and Differentiation, researchers in France, Germany, and Sweden discussed the unique mutational spectrum of the transformation-related ...

Charité and Stanford scientists built a genome-to-proteome map in yeast, linking thousands of DNA mutations to changes in protein production. The study shows even small genetic changes can reshape ...

The BRCA 14 nano-chip test, which is common in Israel, targets women of Ashkenazi and Ethiopian descent who have not been ...

A team of researchers at Columbia, Harvard and University of Minnesota has developed a gene editing technique they say could pave the way for new therapies for a host of diseases with fewer unintended ...

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have harnessed a powerful supercomputer, normally used by astronomers and physicists ...
