Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...

The DNA mutations that drive evolution are generally thought to be fairly random, but a new study suggests there’s some order to the chaos. Comparing the genomes of hundreds of plants grown in a lab, ...

Experiments from the 1940s established a key tenet of genetics—mutagenesis occurs randomly across the genome. New research, however, suggests that mutations may be less random than originally thought.

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...
