Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy found that ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

GLOBAL: Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumour-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome—one that contributes to many genetic diseases, ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The team identified two enzymes that regulate a chemical modification, 6mA, in mitochondrial ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...
