In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth. By testing every possible mutation in a critical hotspot, they found that ...

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study takes a deep dive into inherited cancer mutations ...

The order of cancer-driving mutations—genetic changes—plays an important role in whether tumors in the intestine can develop, new research reveals. These are the findings published on 3 December in ...

It's a fundamental principle of science: Correlation does not equal causation. Every cancer cell has genetic mutations, but not all of those mutations necessarily drive the cancer. A Harvard Medical ...

Every cancer carries a unique genetic fingerprint: variations in DNA known as “somatic variants” that occur in tumor DNA but are absent from the patient’s healthy cells. While some cancers may also ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

An extensive tumor genomic analysis of individuals with ovarian cancer, led by researchers from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) and Emory University, revealed that Black ...

Loss of GATA6-a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off-can reprogram colorectal cancer cells ...

"One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen," clinician-scientist Samuel Hume wrote alongside a video clip posted on X.

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study, led by researchers at Washington University School of ...
