New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in cancer and identified cancer-driving mutations in an underexplored part of ...

The Mutation Machine is a way to combine Plants and Brainrots in Plants Vs Brainrots. Instead of fusing Brainrots to find new ones with the Fusion Machine, we can now combine mutations. This is a cool ...

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...

Mpox, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), is a zoonotic disease that has gained global relevance after the 2022–2024 outbreak. MPXV exists in two distinct clades: clade I, associated with higher ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

Ebihara Takashi has been the chief operating officer of GeneFrontier (GFC) since 2010, with a focus on advancing cell-free protein expression technologies, particularly the PURE system. He earned a ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively predict how mutations or variants in human DNA sequences impact gene ...

Mutations accumulated in mitochondrial DNA associated with aging were earlier believed to cause aging by decreasing the energy-producing function (mitochondrial respiratory function). In this study, ...
