How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Ever see a basset hound and find yourself wanting to (gently) grab its long, floppy ears and give them a little waggle? The ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.

Identifying and classifying gene mutations - which are the permanent changes in a person's DNA genetic code - are critical in better understanding, and with research, eventually treating or preventing ...

Scientists from UC Davis Center for Surgical Bioengineering, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab are developing ...
