A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Although previously thought to be neutral, research in yeast suggests that synonymous point mutations may have strongly nonneutral effects. A group of researchers from the University of Michigan (MI, ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing mutations. The technology could advance treatments for cystic fibrosis and ...
