Scientists have long believed that disease-causing genetic variants inevitably lead to disease. But a sea change of research ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego and collaborators have identified a previously overlooked pattern of ...

Researchers have used AI to uncover the DNA signature of a key genetic “switch” involved in turning genes on. After analyzing ...

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 ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Precise activation of tens of thousands of genes is critical for healthy development and growth. Specialized segments of our DNA are responsible for carefully orchestrating genetic sequences that ...

Two groups studied the same cancer mutations in the blood. They agreed on many aspects, including the mechanism at work. But ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the Arc Institute describe the development and advantages of “Evo 2”. Evo 2 is a novel biological foundation model trained on a ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
