The illustration of protein structure (domains) on the left side, and corresponding exons in the FLT3 gene are displayed on the right side. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations represent some ...

Deafness, the most common sensorineural hearing loss at all stages of life, occurs either independently or as part of ...

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...

A review article led by researchers from the B·ARGO group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and from the Medical Oncology Department of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) in ...

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 ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Blood usually falls into a few widely recognized categories or types, based on the proteins that are expressed on the surface of red blood cells. For example, A or B antigens may be present there, ...
