Genetic editing is an invaluable tool in biomedical research. Scientists have been able to engineer the genomes of a variety of animals, including fruit flies, zebrafish, and mice, to model diseases ...

Australian researchers have uncovered how a particular strain of a diarrhea-causing parasite managed to infect more animal species, offering new insights into how parasitic infections emerge and ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...

The rates of germline mutations — genetic changes passed from parents to their offspring — have been estimated for 68 vertebrate animal species using a method involving mother–father–offspring trios.

The first study to compare the accumulation of mutations across many animal species has shed new light on decades-old questions about the role of these genetic changes in ageing and cancer.

An evolution experiment involving beetles has provided the first direct evidence that caring for offspring results in the accumulation of more genetic mutations in a population. Some of the mutations ...
