For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

Using patient data from several banks of genomics data, researchers at UC San Diego were able to make similar predictions of aging using either mutations or epigenetic modifications. Their results ...

It's time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argue authors of a new essay. It's time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a ...

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 ...

It's time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argues Sui Huang from the ...

Two major theories of aging both involve DNA, but in very different ways. Researchers have revealed that these theories may not be so different after all. Researchers at University of California San ...

3D structure of a melanoma cell derived by ion abrasion scanning electron microscopy. It’s time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argued Sui Huang from ...
