An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help scientists better interpret the human genome and understand how genetic changes ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Occasionally, single-letter misspellings in the genetic code, known as point mutations, occur. Point mutations that alter the resulting protein sequences are called nonsynonymous mutations, while ...

Ever since the genetic code was cracked, those mutations have generally been assumed to be neutral, or nearly so. But in a study published online June 8 in the journal Nature that involved the genetic ...
