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, ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

Without interrupting their busy sleep schedule, Australia’s cute, if cantankerous, koalas have turned a truism of genetics on its head. In short, the proliferation of certain koala populations shows ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

While some traits become standardized in breeds, others remain rare and unpredictable. That is the case with Dobby, a ...
