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 ...

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, ...

CHARGE syndrome is a complex congenital disorder that presents with a spectrum of multisystem anomalies, including ocular coloboma, choanal atresia, congenital heart defects, and ear malformations, as ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...

The Pig-A gene plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which tether a multitude of proteins to the cell surface. Mutations in this X‐linked gene result ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...
