The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not ...

A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

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 ...

Genetic disorders — like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease — are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...

When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

A retrospective analysis of 5,045 patients at University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center who underwent tumor genetic testing between January 2015 and April 2022 was conducted. Data were ...
