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 ...

Google DeepMind has unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) invention, AlphaGenome, which its developers claim could have a "transformative impact" on medicine discovery by predicting how DNA ...

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 ...

Research from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research associated a chemotherapy-related cellular process with genetic mutations and used it to identify novel cancer driver alterations. Ontario ...

A new 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, including cancer. A ...

Study in adults and children with aplastic anemia identifies parallel evolutionary pathways used by hematopoietic stem cells ...

Aplastic anemia is a rare, life-threatening blood disorder where patients are unable to make enough blood cells due to the immune system's attack on blood stem cells. The condition can progress to ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...
