A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called B-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

Mutations are the raw ingredient of evolution, providing variation that sometimes makes an organism more successful in its environment. But most mutations are expected to be neutral and have no impact ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...
