Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

Human cells usually contain two copies of most genes, one of which comes from the mother while the other comes from the father. It's long been thought that usually these two copies, or alleles of ...

Flinders University researchers have discovered a rare genetic mutation that could explain why some people do not respond to ...

Huntington’s disease is a rare inherited neurological disorder that progressively affects movement, cognition and mental ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...
