The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the ...
Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...
A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...
A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...
Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When a zygote begins cell division ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.
