Early research shows that editing expanding trinucleotide repeats halts the lengthening process that causes neurological ...

Broad Institute researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and ...

Modern-day HIV treatments may stem from a genetic mutation dating back to the Viking Age, researchers said. Steinar Engeland via Unsplash On June 5, 1981, the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Modern HIV medicine is based on a common genetic mutation. Now, researchers have traced where and when the mutation arose -- and how it protected our ancestors from ancient diseases. Modern HIV ...

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function. Now, researchers have ...

Scientists from the Scripps Research Institute are reporting that it would take just a single mutation in the version of bird flu that has swept through U.S. dairy herds to produce a virus adept ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...

We found that trinucleotide mutational probabilities, sequence composition and heterogeneity of mutation rates at 10 Kbp only explain a fraction of hotspot propensity among mutational signatures, ...

Stop-gain mutations Now, a new study is confirming ... These mutational processes alter specific trinucleotide contexts and thereby substitute serines and glutamic acids with stop codons.
