DNA's 3D shape — its twisted ladders complexly curled into coils and loops — and other features beyond its genetic code may influence where "hotspots" of cancer-causing mutations accumulate. That's ...
A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
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, ...
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 ...
Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...
Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy is independently associated with an increased risk of CLL, suggesting potential as a novel biomarker for early risk identification.
Since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, something has concerned scientists: can exposure to radiation leave marks in someone’s DNA that are passed on to ...
Khaberni - Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster, a new study reveals clear evidence of some effects of radiation exposure being passed to the next generation. Research ...
A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing ...
