Study explains long-standing question of why Huntington’s disease symptoms typically do not appear until midlife even though ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered that random DNA mutations don’t just cause local damage, they trigger widespread changes ...

A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and McLean Hospital have discovered a ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old question: what causes aging at the molecular level? Their findings, published ...

The rate of molecular evolution is measured by using computer algorithms that estimate the number of substitutions (fixed mutations) per unit time in DNA sequences. This process is aided by using ...

Published in Cell, the study titled, “Long somatic DNA-repeat expansion drives neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease,” ...

Childhood or young adult onset patients usually with acromegaly can also have mutations in the AIP gene without a known family history of pituitary adenoma. DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is the ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during ...
