The RAS family commonly drives the growth and survival of human cancers. Mutations in KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS occur in approximately 20% of all human cancers, including solid tumors, such as pancreatic, ...
A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience suggests that a specific genetic variant alters how organisms respond to alcohol. The research identifies the chrna3 gene as a primary regulator of ...
A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
Directed evolution,' which induces mutations in genetic material to create useful functions, is considered a core technology ...
Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...
A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...
In humans, hundreds of proteins interact in a complex network dubbed the interactome. Those interactions are further complicated when disease-causing mutations are introduced into genes that code for ...
New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...
