In a way this is the same as looking at signs and symptoms to see which are related to disease and which are bening, just on a molecular scale and trying to sort between millions and millions of them.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively predict how mutations or variants in human DNA sequences impact gene ...

Research from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research associated a chemotherapy-related cellular process with genetic mutations and used it to identify novel cancer driver alterations. Ontario ...

St. Jude researchers reveal that moderate levels of mitochondrial DNA mutations boost leukemia growth by increasing metabolic plasticity, while high mutation levels shut down tumor development. They ...

Lung cancer cases are on the rise in non-smokers around the world, and air pollution could be an insidious, contributing factor. A genome study has now found that outdoor smog and soot are strongly ...
