A team of researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Novogene Bioinformatics Institute reports an association between de novo genetic mutations and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA ...

Unexpected inheritable mutations in CRISPR/Cas9 studies remind us of the need for caution. The gene-editing tool, CRISPR/Cas9, has the potential to generate numerous genetic disease treatments and ...

Scientists from Denmark and China have estimated germline mutation rates across vertebrates by sequencing and comparing genetic samples from 151 mother, father, and offspring trios from 68 species of ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Mutations in genes that form the desmosome are the most common cause of the cardiac disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), which affects one in 2000 to 5000 people worldwide. Researchers from ...

Whole-genome sequencing of 194 chicken trios from a commercial pedigree line yields the largest direct germline mutation rate estimate in any bird or livestock species and shows males contribute ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...
