An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape ...

Researchers now have thousands of new DNA mutations to study as possible causes of autism, thanks to an artificial intelligence-powered technique described in a study published May 27 in Nature ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...

SOX17 mutations are linked to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension often diagnosed in childhood, though some develop the ...

Researchers show two distinct MECP2 mutations in Rett syndrome elevate miRNA-126-3p, lowering ZO-1 and weakening blood-brain ...

The risk of older fathers passing on disease-causing mutations to their children is higher than we thought. Genome sequencing has revealed that among men in their early thirties, around 1 in 50 sperm ...

Human cells usually contain two copies of most genes, one of which comes from the mother while the other comes from the father. It's long been thought that usually these two copies, or alleles of ...

While men may be able to have children much later than women, doing so could come with an increased risk of inherited disease for their children. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...
