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

Our discovery set comprised 31 pRCCs and paired normal tissue or peripheral blood (Table 1). Three tumours were separate foci from case GK116; these appeared to be grossly distinct lesions and were ...

Despite the gazillions of hours (and possibly as many dollars) spent searching for a cure for cancer, none has emerged. This is primarily because every tumor has a different mutational profile and ...

An international team that includes researchers from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has discovered that mammalian chromosomes ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

When a species lives in two distinct types of habitats, individuals with traits better suited to each habitat will thrive and reproduce, naturally selecting descendants with those traits.

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