You are what you eat, but what happens to those calories after you eat may depend more on your genes than you think.

The human genome is broadly classified into the genome residing in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA) and the genome residing in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA: mtDNA). Mitochondria are cell ...

Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumor-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

Analysis of one million diverse genomes yields mutations associated with lower risk of diabetes, heart disease and other ...

A man who inherited a gene fault that causes early Alzheimer's has never developed the disease - he is in his late seventies.

A study has found that even if all causes of aging, such as telomere shortening, are eliminated, only half of people would ...

The patient's genetic disorder causes frequent seizures and developmental delays. His progress, along with that of another ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
