Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

EVE combines evolutionary insights with human population data to identify damaging genetic mutations, improving variant ...

Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape ...

Scientists believe that mutations in the brain they previously thought were rare might actually be happening inside each and every one of us. In fact, scientists believe that these brain mutations ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...
