Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumor-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

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 ...

A newly identified gene mutation may help explain why schizophrenia patients struggle to update their understanding of ...

Using sequencing instruments from multiple vendors, scientists from the University of Utah Health, the University of Washington, PacBio, and elsewhere have developed what they claim is the most ...

Almost 1,500 genes have been implicated in intellectual disabilities; yet for most people with such disabilities, genetic causes remain unknown. Perhaps this is in part because geneticists have been ...

A study conducted in fruit flies by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has linked a patient variant of ...

Researchers suggest their approach has the potential to transform early disease detection and health monitoring across diverse clinical settings.

A scientist diagnosed with an ultra-rare form of ALS linked to a CHCHD10 gene mutation is now enrolled in a one-of-a-kind ...
