Colorectal tumors that underwent somatic next-generation sequencing (NGS) for 154-168 genes in an in-house laboratory between 2015 and 2022 were retrospectively identified. Microsatellite instability ...

In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...

Retrospective study of fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy dosing and toxicity in patients with screen-detected deleterious DPYD gene variants. Real-world treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization ...

Mutation rate, as a biological process, denotes the frequency at which heritable changes in nucleotide sequence arise per genome, gene, or nucleotide per cell division or per unit time, driven by ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random chance, but because some are naturally favored. Advanced sequencing revealed ...

TOKYO -- Sexual reproduction is essential for mammals to eliminate harmful genetic mutations that build up through cloning, a research team led by pro･･･ ...

Scientists have discovered a key 'survival gene' that prevents strains of tuberculosis (TB) from mutating into drug-resistant 'superbugs'. In a joint study, published today, Friday January 27th 2017, ...
