It was long predicted that the source of domestic cats’ distinctive pumpkin-orange fur coloring was genetic and was produced by a gene on the sex-determining X-chromosome because 80% of orange cats ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
Research reveals that artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation cause cellular mutations that can be the seeds of future cancers, including highly deadly melanoma. Tanning bed users are known to ...
Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...
