Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

When most people picture a bee, they imagine a small black insect with a fuzzy body, yellow stripes and glossy dark eyes. But beyond the classic black-and-yellow pattern mutant bees exist that defy ...

In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, TP53 mutations are known to affect patients’ prognosis—but questions remain. What does the heterogeneity of TP53 ...

This research provides a comprehensive analysis of deleterious mutations in pear (Pyrus spp.) during domestication, shedding light on their impact on agronomic traits. By resequencing 232 pear ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

Florida panthers are making a comeback. That's the conclusion a team including UCLA biologists has come to following an attempt at a genetic rescue for the cat that began 30 years ago. Subscribe to ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...
