By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

Scientists have made a rare discovery that allows them to attribute two types of tumour almost entirely to specific mutations that lie in two related genes. These mutations are found in nearly 100 per ...

One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is difficulty incorporating new information about the world. This can lead patients to ...

The illustration of protein structure (domains) on the left side, and corresponding exons in the FLT3 gene are displayed on the right side. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations represent some ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells to multiply without restraint. Decades of research have traced this process ...

Researchers have developed a new tool -- dubbed SATI -- to edit the mouse genome, enabling the team to target a broad range of mutations and cell types. The new genome-editing technology could be ...

The ability to edit genes in living organisms offers the opportunity to treat a plethora of inherited diseases. However, many types of gene-editing tools are unable to target critical areas of DNA, ...

If a person develops pancreatic cancer, it may have genetic mutations that affect how it responds to treatment. Genetic testing can provide valuable information to help doctors and individuals make ...
