In real life, mutants can arise when their DNA changes to give them an advantage over the rest of the population. A team from the University of Michigan has used simulations on the Pittsburgh ...
The inherited mutated gene WNT9B, which functions normally in embryonic prostate development, increases risk of adult prostate cancer, according to a new study.
The research is published in the journal Nature. The study comprehensively analyzed "cis-regulatory elements" (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription. This work sheds ...
Eventually, these mutated blood cells become over-represented ... For some patients with clonal hematopoiesis, the repetitive DNA sequences make cells think they are infected by a virus.
Separately, Rakovina Therapeutics expects to receive the first synthesized drug candidates from its second AI-driven drug discovery program targeting ATR.
