Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...
