Scientists collaborating on an international research project led by Trinity College Dublin and the University of Dundee have identified a new genetic mutation linked to the development of a type of ...

Human cells usually contain two copies of most genes, one of which comes from the mother while the other comes from the father. It's long been thought that usually these two copies, or alleles of ...

Flinders University researchers have discovered a rare genetic mutation that could explain why some people do not respond to ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Google unveils AI that can predict how DNA mutations cause disease - ‘This could add another piece of the puzzle for the discovery of drug targets and ultimately, the development of new drugs,’ says ...
