Horses possess a rare genetic peculiarity. This adaptation partly explains their exceptional endurance without compromising their cellular health. A team of researchers has identified a mutation ...

This AI system can analyze up to one million DNA letters at once, predicting how tiny changes in noncoding regions trigger everything from cancer to rare genetic disorders—and potentially revolutioniz ...

Identifying and classifying gene mutations - which are the permanent changes in a person's DNA genetic code - are critical in better understanding, and with research, eventually treating or ...

A new discovery about mutations in a gene that causes ALS may allow researchers to design targeted therapies, a study found.

Pygmy seahorses are remarkable creatures. These tiny marine vertebrates, often no bigger than two centimeters in size, are ...

Rather than focusing only on protein structure, the new tool goes straight to the source code—DNA. Just a tenth of a percent of missense mutations in human DNA have been mapped using classic lab ...

Figure 3. Docking of ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 to the PTB protein. (A) The results of docking ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 (light orange) to the PTB protein (PDB code 3DXC, navy blue) in the 934-941 amino acid ...

Pancreatic cells 'remember' epigenetic precancerous marks without genetic sequence mutations Date: April 4, 2025 Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine Summary: Scientists say they have found a pattern of ...

Mutations in the HBB gene, left, a beta-globin protein that is one of the subunits of hemoglobin, can cause sickle cell. Mutations in CFTR, a particular type of protein called an ion channel, can ...

A novel molecular pathway to explain how a mutation in the gene ACTA2 can cause individuals in their 30s – with normal cholesterol levels and no other risk factors — to develop coronary artery ...

Eiberg's theory is that a mutation occurred between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago that switched on the ability for the gene to dilute brown eyes to blue. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," he said ...
