An international research team reveals new molecular mechanisms associated with pathogenic mutations in the protein ...

Researchers have developed a new technology called tARC-seq that revealed a genetic mechanism affecting SARS-CoV-2 divergence and enabled the team to calculate SARS-CoV-2's mutation rate. Using ...

Inherited mutations in the gene BRCA2 significantly increase the risk of carriers to breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA2, a crucial player in the body's DNA repair system, aids in repairing damaged DNA.

Many sections of the non-coding region of the human genome play a key role in regulating gene activity. But the relationship between non-coding mutations and cancer risk has been a mystery. New ...

Analysis utilizing GuardantINFORM™ real-world evidence platform shows cumulative incidence of EGFR C797X mutation was 12.5 percent in NSCLC patients likely to progress after first-line osimertinib ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Texas Medical Branch assessed the underlying mechanisms involved in the ...

A new, less error-prone approach to sequencing Sars-CoV-2 genomes has revealed key information on factors responsible for the development of new COVID-19 variants. Researchers at Baylor College of ...

Osteosarcoma is a type of aggressive bone cancer that most commonly affects children and young adults between the ages of 10 and 20, during times of rapid bone growth. Although rare, it has a ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID has the unsettling ability of often generating variants of itself. Other viruses also mutate, but as SARS-CoV-2 quickly spread throughout the entire human ...
