Unique mutations in the H5N1 strain enhance replication in human cells and cause severe disease in mice. The virus has spread from birds to mammals, including dairy cows, and infected humans, with one ...

Researchers headed by a team at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have created what they claim to be the largest atlas of post-zygotic mutations (PZMs) in healthy human tissue. They generated ...

Human eggs appear to be protected against a certain type of age-related mutation. In a small study, researchers found no signs that mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA of human egg cells as ...

Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...

Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, ...

The mutations seen in the patient are rare but have been reported in some cases in other countries and most often during severe infections. One of the mutations was also seen in another severe case ...

A genetic analysis of samples from the patient in Louisiana recently hospitalized with the country's first severe case of H5N1 bird flu show the virus likely mutated in the patient to become ...
