A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

This produces point mutations in the DNA, which are mostly harmless but can sometimes lead to genetic disorders. In the new study, the Surrey researchers discovered that some of these modifications ...

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...

Cancer results from a combination of spontaneous mutations that arise with age—just call it “bad luck”—and environmental exposures to carcinogens such as tobacco, ultraviolet light or viruses. But the ...
