In a major step toward treating rare neurological diseases, scientists have used gene editing to correct mutations inside the ...

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an ...

Horses didn’t just change how people traveled. They rewired the course of civilization. Yet scientists have always puzzled over how, exactly, wild steppe animals transformed into the rideable ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

Amazing Human Saves Precious Cat Hit by a Car—and a Miracle Happens 4 Days Later originally appeared on Parade Pets. Sometimes, social media delivers a story that just wrecks you—in the best way. A ...

As we age, the genes in our cells accumulate more mutations. This is one of the contributory factors to age-related diseases and the aging process. However, in a new study published in Science ...

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 ...

Australia’s major skink (Bellatorias frerei) has evolved to combat snake venom with the same mutation found in honey badgers, according to a new study. Scott Eiper Australian skinks have evolved ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...

DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...
