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 genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as cerebral paralysis and multiple ...

The study of experimental evolution in Escherichia coli has provided unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of adaptive mutations, elucidating how populations diverge and optimise their fitness ...

Researchers have pinpointed a gene mutation associated with survival at high altitudes that could restore myelin to damaged ...

Scientists identify a high-altitude genetic mutation in yaks that produces ATDR, a Vitamin A metabolite that repairs myelin damage in MS and cerebral paralysis.

Duke researchers find a surprising genetic source of lethal mutations in fruit flies, with possible implications for conservation and health Scientists have puzzled for decades over a basic ...

Researchers published a new study, “Ongoing chromothripsis underpins osteosarcoma genome complexity and clonal evolution,” in Cell that they say solves the mystery of what drives the genomic ...

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 ...

Vaccinating birds against bird flu reduces the spread of the disease, but may have unintended consequences. This is the warning of a new paper in the journal Science Advances, which concluded that ...
