Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape ...

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, ...

SOX17 mutations are linked to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension often diagnosed in childhood, though some develop the ...

KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...

Scientists have made a rare discovery that allows them to attribute two types of tumour almost entirely to specific mutations that lie in two related genes. These mutations are found in nearly 100 per ...

A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called B-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue ...

Researchers have developed a new tool -- dubbed SATI -- to edit the mouse genome, enabling the team to target a broad range of mutations and cell types. The new genome-editing technology could be ...

The illustration of protein structure (domains) on the left side, and corresponding exons in the FLT3 gene are displayed on the right side. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations represent some ...
