Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...
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, ...
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...
A clustered family history of breast, ovarian, and colon cancers appropriately triggered germline testing, with BRCA1 mutation status informing individualized risk stratification and counseling.
Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...
There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...
The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...
Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...
Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.
