A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome—one that contributes to many genetic diseases, ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

Researchers have changed the way to look at DNA. They show that DNA is much more than a linear sequence of building blocks; it has a 3D structure that influences the variation of human genome-wide ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: FameLab is the national speaking competition which was just held in Fremantle. It is ...

Delve into the field of PARP inhibitors, a class that has gained traction in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.

Researchers were aiming to find a genetic solution to a rare and devastating disease but were not able to identify one. However, in the process they ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...
