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, ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments. This mutation has provided new insights into how ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

A newly identified gene mutation may help explain why schizophrenia patients struggle to update their understanding of reality. The mutation disrupts a brain circuit involved in flexible ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a promising gene-editing therapy that directly corrects a genetic mutation responsible for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common ...

An international team of scientists headed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene, CTNNB1, influence ...
