Monoallelic loss of PTEN and ARID1A is identified in normal colonic epithelium. The resulting haploinsufficient phenotypes ...

Factors like nutrition and muscle strength and size are all involved when it comes to your running speed, and your genetics ...

In this study, which appears in Nature, experiments showed that the gene mutation in a calcium signaling pathway enhances endosymbiosis in farming conditions. Excitingly, the team used genetic ...

This means that the damage has multiple chances to generate harmful mutations, which can lead to cancer. While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms ...

Large genomic rearrangements have been found in a subset of patients with autism and schizophrenia, suggesting that recurrent and/or new mutations are involved in psychiatric disorders.

The Garvan team revealed that this is not the case -- rather, the critical trigger is mutations in 'rogue clone' B cells. "This discovery fundamentally changes our understanding of how infections ...

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) announced on Thursday that it has begun offering individuals with Jewish ancestry swabs to check for mutations in their BRCA genes, which are associated ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

One of the earliest strains of bird flu isolated from a human in Texas shows a unique constellation of mutations that enable it to more easily replicate in human cells and cause more severe ...

For example, the MSH3 protein normally helps the cell monitor its DNA for potential mutations, but loops in the DNA formed by extra CAGs can confuse this protein into expanding the CAG repeat.
