The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

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, ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

New research published in Nature Communications into hidden mutations in mitochondrial DNA has uncovered how high mutational levels coincide with later life and link to aging markers. Mitochondria are ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

Gene editing technology allows to introduce and correct disease-linked mitochondrial DNA mutations in liver and skin cells In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the ...
