A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

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, ...

After the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, the surrounding region became one of the most radioactive places on Earth. Humans left—but wildlife stayed. Scientists have since documented deformities, genetic ...

Hereditary ATTR-CM can run in families. Learn who may be at risk, when genetic testing is recommended, the benefits of screening, and how to talk with relatives.

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...
