A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...
Scientists at UC Davis discovered a small genetic difference that could explain why humans are more prone to certain cancers than our primate cousins. The change affects a protein used by immune cells ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
