UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

Unique mutations in the H5N1 strain enhance replication in human cells and cause severe disease in mice. The virus has spread from birds to mammals, including dairy cows, and infected humans, with one ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

A common human gene mutation combination—found in about 5% of the U.K.'s Black population as well as millions of people worldwide with recent African ancestry—has been linked to a number of health ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to ...

In a novel study, researchers introduced LoGoFunc, an advanced computational tool that predicts pathogenic gain- and loss-of-function variants across the genome. Unlike current methods that ...
