Somatic testing analyzes genetic material in specific cells or tissues to identify acquired mutations, revolutionizing oncology by enhancing diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment strategies. This ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Repetitive brain injury has the focus of many studies due to the long-lasting effects and the high risk for injury in participants of high impact sports. While there are many neurodegenerative ...

Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect aging. The studies, which are published in Nature ...

Scientist examining genetic testing results on a screen High-grade tumors do not directly evolve from lower-grade ones, but both likely emerge from a common, pre-malignant mutagenic field. A recent ...

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, ...

An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...
