An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...

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 ...

Researchers have used advanced genetic sequencing on a Brisbane family to identify a gene mutation linked to ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel condition, sparking hopes of new ...

A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...

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 ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...
