A bacteria experiment might have provided the solution that ends the long-running debate about the greatest factor of biological evolution. Read more about the investigation and what the scientists found.
A Study found genetic mutations that make it more likely for one to develop cavernous angioma. Read on and learn about this rare type of brain malformation.
Among animal populations, it has been observed that only a few males are needed to keep the numbers healthy and fertilize all the females. However, a new study shows that they are also important for keeping the gene pool healthy and keeping bad mutations away.
Researchers recently found that the two children in Japan who have lung cancer may have acquired tumor cells from their mothers during or shortly before birth.
Fertility experts reported that editing genes of embryos are not yet safe in humans and should only be used to treat serious single-gene diseases, such as cystic fibrosis.
Coronavirus has had genetic mutations which have made it less aggressive, according to an Italian doctor. However, scientists disagree with his optimistic claims.
The search for a cancer cure has led researchers in the OICR, to stumble on a ground-breaking discovery. Previously unknown and undetected in the sequences of non-coding DNA, which can transform into cancer-causing agents in the host cell. Prior to this discovery, this was largely unknown until now.
A group of scientists unveils that cancer is the ultimate result of bad luck and the research study explores that random mutation in the gene causes this fatal disease.
Scientists discovered that DNA mutations and genome errors are top causes of cancers. This defies the theory that unhealthy lifestyle, smoking, among others are triggering cancer cells.
