Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial ...

New research challenges the long-standing idea that most fixed genetic mutations are neutral. For many years, scientists studying evolution have believed that most genetic changes influencing how ...

Mutation: it’s the raw material for evolution. That makes knowing the rate at which it occurs crucial to the study of evolutionary biology. Mutation rate figures into all kinds of calculations. For ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death.

Northeastern University researchers used an original machine learning tool to predict how genetic mutations cause a rare ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and ...

Studying the genome of thale cress, a small flowering weed, led to a new understanding about DNA mutations. (Pádraic Flood) A simple roadside weed may hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA ...

The scientists have discovered that a single inherited mutation causes whole-body issues in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders after the immune response is sparked into action.
