Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

BETHESDA, Md. — Your body is quietly collecting genetic changes right now, and scientists want to map every single one. A massive new research network is launching the most ambitious genetic study ...

The William H. Foege Genome Sciences Building at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle contains laboratories, sequencers, computational facilities, and other resources for ...

Human eggs appear to be protected against a certain type of age-related mutation. In a small study, researchers found no signs that mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA of human egg cells as ...
