Genetic changes that create ever-expanding numbers of identical sperm cells are more widespread than previously thought, ...

Researchers corrected lamin A gene mutations, preventing skeletal and cardiac abnormalities and extending mice lifespans.

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 ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies ...

By profiling brains from healthy people aged one to 104, researchers found that mutations accumulate in some genes more than ...

The human genome is contained in the nucleus of almost every cell in the body. But those cells also contain multitudes of mitochondria, and these incredible little power-generating organelles carry ...

A study published in PLOS PATHOGENS describes the prevalence and functions of mutations in neuraminidase enzyme of avian H5N1 influenza viruses that are preferentially selected in human H5N1 influenza ...

The age of the father plays a role in pregnancy outcomes, with harmful genetic changes in sperm being substantially more ...

A new study has raised alarm bells about the potential for the H5N1 bird flu virus to evolve into a strain sparking a human pandemic. A single mutation in the virus currently ravaging dairy farms ...
