A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically significant increase in a specific type of DNA mutation in the offspring of ...

Google DeepMind has unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) invention, AlphaGenome, which its developers claim could have a "transformative impact" on medicine discovery by predicting how DNA ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

Researchers say a new AI system can identify disease-causing mutations and explain their biological effects, potentially ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...
