Mapping diverse mutations within a cancer hotspot revealed that distinct variants drive tumor growth to different extents, which could guide anticancer therapies.
Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumour growth.
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.
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 ...
Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not ...
In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, TP53 mutations are known to affect patients’ prognosis—but questions remain. What does the heterogeneity of TP53 ...
Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...
