A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

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

Experiments from the 1940s established a key tenet of genetics—mutagenesis occurs randomly across the genome. New research, however, suggests that mutations may be less random than originally thought.

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...
