DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...

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 ...
