Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...

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 ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When a zygote begins cell division at a rapid rate, errors happen, and a new study found that base pairs near a gene’s transcription state sites (TSS ...

This report is based on a recent in-depth article by the BBC, which examined how modern genetics is transforming scientific understanding of autism and reigniting debates within the autistic community ...

Gene that drops early in pancreatic tumors linked to shorter survival at stage II. Findings could guide future treatment ...

Two rare black wolves, likely siblings, were spotted on camera crossing a stream in a Polish forest, a conservation organization said Sunday. The unusual sighting, captured last year on a video camera ...

Identifying and classifying gene mutations - which are the permanent changes in a person's DNA genetic code - are critical in better understanding, and with research, eventually treating or preventing ...

When a zygote begins cell division at a rapid rate, errors happen, and a new study found that base pairs near a gene’s transcription state sites (TSS) are particularly vulnerable. By analyzing some ...
