Lab study findings increase understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning vitamin D deficiency and highlight SDR42E1 ...

Scientists have previously identified mutations in four genes—DEC2, NPSR1, GRM1, and ADRB1—associated with this rare trait.In the recent study, researchers analyzed the DNA of volunteers who ...

Other mutations affect recessive genes. Having a single mutation in a recessive gene, in principle, has no effect on the carrier.

Mutations were observed in all genes studied, except c-MET, DDR2, MAP2K1, and RET. The multivariable analysis showed that: Niche mutations had higher mortality than EGFR mutations KRAS mutations ...

A new study published shows the discovery of a gene mutation that lets some people get away with only 3-6 hours of sleep. Do you think you have it?

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered how a mutated gene kicks off a dangerous chain of events during blood cell production.

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor.

Researchers have found new links between CRISPR, p53 and other cancer genes that could prevent the accumulation of mutated cells without compromising the gene scissors' effectiveness.

A new laboratory study pinpoints a way H5N1 bird flu could evolve to spread from person to person.
