Researchers developed a single-cell sequencing method that simultaneously measures cancer-linked DNA mutations and gene ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

The American Cancer Society estimates that over 80,000 individuals will be diagnosed with bladder cancer this year.

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

Scientists have created a mega-database revealing how half a million different DNA mutations generate errors in proteins in humans. The researchers hope that the database will be used to develop new, ...

Two of Opus's seven gene therapy assets are in clinical trials, with additional programs expected to enter the clinic.

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report that a rare gene mutation that delays Alzheimer’s disease does so by damping inflammatory signaling in brain-resident immune cells in a preclinical study.

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...

Every organism's genome contains mutations that often have unknown biological effects. In partnership with Stanford University, researchers at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now discovered a ...
