A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

A low number of mutations in the brain also makes sense because the brain is primarily composed of cells that don’t replicate.” Reference: Rockweiler NB, Ramu A, Nagirnaja L, et al. The origins and ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations ...

Humans are also adapting to their environment. Mutations allowing humans to live at high altitudes have become more common in populations in Tibet, Ethiopia, and the Andes.

With cancer, it’s not only multiple mutations, it’s multiple types of mutation of many different genes, which is why normally, we don’t just sequence one gene.

For instance, the lab previously found that humans and Neanderthals have a point mutation in another gene, called ARHGAP11B, which increases both neocortex size and brain folding when introduced into ...
