A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way ...

Cats have long been something of a medical mystery. Compared to dogs, our feline friends receive a fraction of the research attention, but a sweeping new international study is changing that by ...

Extensive toxicological and epidemiological research has shown that these carcinogens cause DNA damage, mutational signatures ...

A new study isolated DNA from the tumours of 500 cats across 13 different tumour types and mapped the sequence of 1,000 genes often found mutated in human cancers.

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, ...

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 ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

Human beings have been at the center of ecological change on Earth for thousands of years. But as history shows, no species ...

A new gene-targeting strategy that boosts a crucial brain protein could pave the way for the first effective treatment for ...
