A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

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

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

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called B-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue ...

Researchers at the Broad Institute and The Jackson Laboratory have used prime editing, a precise and versatile form of gene editing, to correct the root cause of AHC in mice. The team used a scalable ...
