Scientists have discovered how mutations in a specific gene drive the rare developmental disorder Weaver syndrome, which is ...

The new AlphaGenome model can take an extremely long DNA sequence as input — up to 1 million letters, also known as base pairs — and predict thousands of molecular properties.

Without 8 or 9 hours of sleep, most of us end up staggering around like zombies. But according to a new study, some people have a genetic mutation that makes them feel perfectly alive after ...

Then they showed they could fix a different mutation in skin cells taken from a patient with the mitochondrial disorder Gitelman-like syndrome, restoring key signs of healthy mitochondrial function.
