In a big leap for genomics, Google on Wednesday unveiled a powerful AI model that predicts how single DNA mutations affect the complex machinery regulating gene activity. Named AlphaGenome, the tool ...

That superhero is a gene called TP53, and for decades scientists have known it as the “guardian of the genome.” In a healthy cell, TP53 acts like both a brake and an emergency stop button. When DNA ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

Researchers in the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) examined the genetics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by analyzing mutations in the genomes of individuals and their families. They discovered ...

Researchers have used advanced genetic sequencing on a Brisbane family to identify a gene mutation linked to ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel condition, sparking hopes of new ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

A new study has found a rare genetic mutation that allows some of us to get only a few short hours of sleep and wake up feeling fully rested and wide awake.
