Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

The human genome consists of three billion base pairs that encode some 100,000 to 300,000 genes. Could we work out all the sequence of this DNA? What use would that information be? The sequence alone ...

Back in 2016, a group of researchers led by Harvard’s David Liu, PhD, published a paper in Nature that reported the development of base editing. Base editing, they wrote, is “a new approach to genome ...
