Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

How gene mutations disrupt cell growth and trigger cancer?
Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...
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, ...
The paper is published in The Journal of Neuroscience. Genetic mutations generally increase the risk of developing diseases. For example, a mutation known as the Swedish mutation is associated with a ...
A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...
Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...
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 ...
