Older, long-lived trees are thought to contribute more to the creation and maintenance of genetic diversity than young, short-lived trees, according to research on the relationship between the growth rate of tropical trees and the frequency of genetic mutations they accumulate.
A Munich-based research team developed an algorithm that predicts the consequences of genetic changes on RNA production six times more accurately than earlier models. As a result, the genetic origins of uncommon hereditary disorders and cancer may now be more precisely identified.

bout 1 in 26 people have epilepsy, and the most common type, temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), is frequently ineffectively treated with anti-seizure drugs. Neurosurgery may be necessary for patients with this type of epilepsy in order to stop their seizures. Uncertainty surrounds the causes and
Researchers have made an AI-based diagnostic screening system called DeepGlioma that uses rapid imaging to analyze tumor specimens taken during an operation and detect genetic mutations more rapidly.

Personalization of cancer treatments has long been a goal--finding the right drugs that work for a patient's specific tumour based on specific genetic and molecular patterns. Many of these targeted therapies are highly effective, but they are not available for all cancers, including NSCLCs w
The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers. It doesn't, however, clarify why older fathers pass on more mutations than younger ones do. The mechanisms that might un
Barrett oesophagus is a genetic mutation in the esophageal mucous membrane that can lead to esophageal cancer. If certain biomarkers, known as miDNA, which are extremely short DNA strands, are found in these tissue alterations, it could be an indication that this preliminary stage of esophag
A team of scientists has discovered a new genetic mutation that maybe a root cause of severe cases of childhood glaucoma, a devastating condition that runs in families and can rob children of their vision by 3 years of age.
An international team of researchers led by Mass Eye and Ear, a member of Mass General Brigham and Boston Children's Hospital, has discovered a new genetic mutation that could be the root cause of severe cases of childhood glaucoma, a devastating condition that runs in families and can rob c
Researchers have identified new genetic mutation which may be the cause of server cases in patients with childhood glaucoma, a debilitating condition that runs in families and can cause blindness in children as young as three years old.
