Biology has clever ways to mask the effects of potentially harmful gene mutations. Scientists are investigating how this ...

Canine lymphoma, a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disease, represents a significant proportion of canine cancers. We present a large-scale study of 238 dogs with lymphoma to better ...

Scientists have identified mutations in the CPD gene as a key cause of a rare congenital hearing loss, revealing how disruptions in arginine and nitric oxide signaling damage sensory cells in the ear.

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

In many aspects of our lives, we find meaning in the order in which events occur. We buy into myths about "middle child syndrome," talk of calm before storms, and consider it strange to start a meal ...

Researchers have developed a new framework to study the functional impact of genetic background on the expression and severity of neurodevelopmental features associated with a deletion of a portion of ...
