By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

Schizophrenia is thought to affect 1 in 300 people, or about 0.32 percent of the global population, and treatment options are limited because of a poor understanding of the mechanisms underlying the ...

Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect aging. The studies, which are published in Nature ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Accurate genomic profiling is essential for clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment recommendations. Tumor-only sequencing has been adopted by many laboratories to guide precision oncology ...
