A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...

Although previously thought to be neutral, research in yeast suggests that synonymous point mutations may have strongly nonneutral effects. A group of researchers from the University of Michigan (MI, ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

Occasionally, single-letter misspellings in the genetic code, known as point mutations, occur. Point mutations that alter the resulting protein sequences are called nonsynonymous mutations, while ...
