The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the ...

A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, scientists have identified subtle genetic mutation clusters in the ...

DNA has to be interpreted by cells. The letters or bases that make up genetic sequences are read in sets of three, and those three-base sequences are known as codons. Every codon encodes for one amino ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth. By testing every possible mutation in a critical hotspot, they found that ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

While pink grasshoppers sound like a made-up insect, they are very real, albeit rare. Read here to learn why grasshoppers may ...
