Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...

AMES, Iowa – Animal science researchers at Iowa State University have identified a pair of genetic mutations that cause immune deficiencies in pigs that make them uniquely good models for testing ...

Barley grown in Scandinavian countries is adapted in a similar way to reindeer to cope with the extremes of day length at high latitudes. Researchers have found a genetic mutation in some Scandinavian ...

The rates of germline mutations — genetic changes passed from parents to their offspring — have been estimated for 68 vertebrate animal species using a method involving mother–father–offspring trios.

Genetic editing is an invaluable tool in biomedical research. Scientists have been able to engineer the genomes of a variety of animals, including fruit flies, zebrafish, and mice, to model diseases ...

When COVID-19 variants arise, the accepted wisdom is that the constellation of mutations they contain developed in an immunocompromised person who contracted the virus and couldn’t shake the infection ...

Protein creation is essential to the normal function of healthy cells. Proteins help communicate key information to various parts of the cell. All proteins are formed from DNA, or the general ...

A very rare animal has been spotted and captured on camera along a roadway. An albino deer was seen standing to attention while a driver named Carolynn slowly rolled by it in her car, a video posted ...
