The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not ...

Although previously thought to be neutral, research in yeast suggests that synonymous point mutations may have strongly nonneutral effects. A group of researchers from the University of Michigan (MI, ...

It's not just the number of mutations that matters. It's the failure to fix them too. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

EGFR Mutation Detection in Brazilian Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Lessons From Real-World Data Scenario of Molecular Testing Our study emphasizes the need for benchmarking both population ...

When they examined decades-old blood samples from 14 NASA astronauts who flew Space Shuttle missions between 1998 and 2001, researchers found that samples from all 14 astronauts showed mutations in ...

Researchers say the deep learning model may help to create leads for new cancer diagnostics, patient stratification, and future therapies.

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

In autosomal-dominant AD, mutation type influenced amyloid-PET pegged to estimated years before symptom onset. Some mutations came with more striatal amyloid; some with cortical. CSF Aβ42 did not vary ...

The neurodevelomental disease Rett syndrome is usually caused by mutations in a gene called MECP2, which is located on the X chromosome. Patients lose coordination, mobility, and their ability to ...
