Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Genetic testing can confirm a muscular dystrophy (MD) diagnosis when symptoms and other tests already suggest MD. It also identifies specific gene mutations that can guide targeted treatment. Genetic ...

Scientists have discovered a genetic process which could unlock new ways to treat mysterious and deadly fungal infection which has shut down multiple hospital intensive care units. Candida auris is ...

The vast dataset allowed the Johns Hopkins University-led team to demonstrate robust connections between specific variations in a mother's DNA and their risk of miscarriage. The findings shed new ...

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

Thinking of gene loss as an evolution force is a counterintuitive idea, for it is easier to think that only when we gain something -genes in this case- can we evolve. However the new work by these ...

A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk—451 in all—through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest ...
