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

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

As a psychiatric disorder with onset in adulthood, schizophrenia is thought to be triggered by some combination of environmental factors and genetics, although the exact cause is still not fully ...

Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. UCLA researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of ...

Following the recent FDA approval of Braftovi with Mektovi for some patients with NSCLC and a BRAF V600E mutation, a lung cancer expert explains the science behind the news. The recent approval by the ...

The influenza (flu) virus is constantly undergoing a process of evolution and adaptation through acquiring new mutations. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have added a new layer of ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a psychiatric disorder with onset in adulthood, and is thought to be triggered by some combination of environmental factors and genetics. However, the exact cause of the ...

A single genetic mutation can lead to completely different diseases, depending on the time and location at which the mutation occurs. This finding emerged from the PhD study conducted by Rocio ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...
