Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists report data from a new study providing evidence that random, unpredictable DNA copying "mistakes" account for nearly two-thirds of the mutations that ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also plays a role in regulating DNA ...

Cancer patients often wonder “why me?” Does their tumor run in the family? Did they try hard enough to avoid risks like smoking, too much sun or a bad diet? Lifestyle and heredity get the most blame ...

Genome editors are molecular machines that can rewrite the genetic code in cells, but sometimes they produce errors in the form of unintended sequence insertions or deletions, collectively known as ...

We often treat a DNA result like a final, divine verdict. In a time when truth can feel subjective, a laboratory report has become our ultimate anchor. We hand over a cheek swab, wait a week, and ...
