Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...

A new study confirms this long-held theory, discovering that 60 percent of defective genetic pairs impacting the production ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

A duplicated gene evolved into a switch that determines sex in frogs, revealing how evolution can safely reshape critical ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice is stuck in a never-ending race with the Red Queen yet never gains a ...

Researchers at LUMC have made a breakthrough in understanding PALB2 mutations, an important cause of hereditary breast cancer ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

Randomized trials of platelet function and genetic testing to guide antiplatelet decisions following PCI have produced notoriously mixed results: now, an updated consensus document aims to fill some ...

On Wednesday, Google's DeepMind AI research lab announced AlphaGenome, an AI model designed to identify disease markers in large volumes of genetic data. It's badly needed in a field that has produced ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...
