Researchers now have thousands of new DNA mutations to study as possible causes of autism, thanks to an artificial intelligence-powered technique described in a study published May 27 in Nature ...

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

A microfluidic device barely larger than a U.S. quarter and developed by a Rutgers University-led team can detect rare genetic mutations from a single drop of blood. A team led by Rutgers ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...

Researchers are studying tests called liquid biopsies, which can provide vital information about cancer genes using only a blood sample. A blood test to find cancer even before it shows any symptoms ...

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...

Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to a rare genetic anomaly. In a ...
