Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

The DNA mutations that drive evolution are generally thought to be fairly random, but a new study suggests there’s some order to the chaos. Comparing the genomes of hundreds of plants grown in a lab, ...

Experiments from the 1940s established a key tenet of genetics—mutagenesis occurs randomly across the genome. New research, however, suggests that mutations may be less random than originally thought.

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 ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...
