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 ...

In a groundbreaking study published on January 18, 2024, in Cancer Discovery, scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine leveraged a machine learning algorithm to tackle one ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Genetic testing, often via a blood sample, can confirm a muscular dystrophy diagnosis. It can also identify specific gene mutations to help guide treatment and determine whether or not someone is a ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...
