Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology has ...

A new study has revealed that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to ...

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 ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers ...

Researchers have developed the first mouse model for a mitochondrial tRNALeu mutation, showing that the associated metabolic disorder results from faulty RNA processing. Studying the role of ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely targeted infusions. By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease-causing ...

Studying the role of mitochondria—the specialized structures within cells responsible for energy production—in metabolic diseases has been difficult because of a lack of animal models with the ...

About 80% of orange cats are males, including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team: Zuko, Benny, Tang and Dorito. Scientists have long suspected that their orange color was a sex-linked ...
