Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...

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 ...

As men age, harmful sperm mutations increase — not just by chance, but because some are favored during sperm production.

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations ...

Kidney damage that seemingly heals appears to mutate the DNA in the mitochondria of kidney cells, making the organ less ...

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

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age.

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random ...

G4 and R-loop signals at the indicated genomic locus. Both G4s and R-loops accumulate in cells where the resolution of G4 knots is defective (red). Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder.

About 80% of orange cats are males, including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team: Zuko, Benny, Tang and Dorito. Scientists have long suspected that their orange color was a sex-linked ...
