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

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

The DNA mutations that drive evolution are generally thought to be fairly random, but a new study suggests there’s some order to the chaos. Comparing the genomes of hundreds of plants grown in a lab, ...

Experiments from the 1940s established a key tenet of genetics—mutagenesis occurs randomly across the genome. New research, however, suggests that mutations may be less random than originally thought.

CFTR is a protein essential to wet surfaces throughout your body, like the airways of your lungs. People with cystic fibrosis have a gene mutation that causes problems with the protein. Some ...
