Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Universities of Cambridge and ...
Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...
If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
A new study maps out the timeline of DNA damage for multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer. The findings may lead to better ways to group patients by the state of their DNA and define ...
