There are many different types of mutations which can arise in DNA. This diagram shows the normal order of the bases for one of the strands in a DNA molecule. Only one of the strands of DNA is ...

Mutations are the only source of new alleles. Some people carry a mutated version of the gene that codes for haemoglobin. The protein that is coded for by the mutant allele doesn’t function ...

Genetic instability in the form of mutations and chromosome rearrangements is usually associated with pathological disorders, but it is also crucial for evolution and the generation of genetic ...

The colorful threads in this image are muscle fibers. This spotted rainbow illustrates a potential gene therapy approach to treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) – a rare, debilitating, and fatal ...

By mapping the subcellular architecture and protein interactions within cells, researchers can better understand how mutations contribute to pediatric cancers and other conditions.

The study, published in Nature Communications, describes a comprehensive framework for analyzing such mutations. Called NetFlow3D, the framework has been applied to 33 different cancer types ...
