A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...
Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...
Santhosh Girirajan receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
Cats are arguably perfect. At least, evidence suggests that felines, which have evolved with minimal variation and maximal efficiency, have reached the “perfect” genetic form. “Everything you need to ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
It was long predicted that the source of domestic cats’ distinctive pumpkin-orange fur coloring was genetic and was produced by a gene on the sex-determining X-chromosome because 80% of orange cats ...
Avian influenza viruses typically require several mutations to adapt and spread among humans, but what happens when just one change can increase the risk of becoming a pandemic virus? A recent study ...
