Infographic: How “Silent” Mutations Can Disrupt Protein-Making Although scientists often assume that synonymous mutations don’t cause any biological effects because they don’t alter the amino acid ...
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a protein on the surface of your cells that helps them grow. When the gene that codes for EGFR has a mutation, it affects the way this protein works, causing ...
A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...
A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...
A new study reveals 42 hereditary genes which predispose individuals to a higher number of mutations that correlate with a greater probability of developing cancer. A study of 11,000 cancer patients ...
