Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...

The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...

The algorithm also identified a host of previously unknown mutations, including five that involve genes related to pigmentation. In these cases, iSAFE identified identical mutations in multiple ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

A plant geneticist and computational biologist teamed up to decipher the unpredictability of natural and engineered mutations in tomatoes. They discovered some combinations of mutations behave as ...
