The MTHFR gene mutation is linked to heart disease, depression, and more. But there are things you can do to fight back.

How Gene Mutations Occur. Genes and chromosomes can be damaged in a number of different ways. They may be damaged directly, such as with radiation, or indirectly.

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 ...

August 10, 2000 — Genetic sequencing and analysis of regions of the X and Y chromosomes of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas, reveals a much smaller difference in mutation rates of the two sex ...

Scientists have demonstrated an intriguing new variation on the CRISPR gene-editing system, which involves fixing a mutation on one chromosome by copying a healthy version from the other.

Nor are all mutations equally easy to identify.11 Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly apparent that even so-called single-gene disorders are products of the interaction between multiple genes.4 ...

Chromosome mutation promoted such dominant genes resembles, in many respects, those associated with MR gene or P factor inDrosophila and gene-control elements in maize.

Your genes determine your skin color, gender, and hair color and whether or not you have certain genetic diseases. But it's in that less than 1% that things get interesting.

In two separate studies, researchers have identified the mutation that can lead to the autoimmune disease lupus. The discovery opens the door to new therapeutic approaches and testing for the ...

Gene Mutation Divided Man, ... the Pennsylvania team isolated a new gene in an overlooked junk DNA sequence on chromosome 7. It belongs to a class of genes that express production of the protein ...
