These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Scientists have designed a publicly-available software and web database to break down barriers to identifying key protein-protein interactions to treat with medication. The computational tool is ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

In humans, hundreds of proteins interact in a complex network dubbed the interactome. Those interactions are further complicated when disease-causing mutations are introduced into genes that code for ...

Although the genetic cause of many diseases have been identified, it’s estimated that as many as 70% of patients with a rare disorder do not know what causes their disease. Millions of people live ...

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

A new study found that a single mutation to the hemagglutinin protein of an H5N1 virus isolated from a dairy worker in Texas this spring switched the protein’s binding specificity from avian- to human ...

A single modification in the protein found on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 influenza virus currently circulating in U.S. dairy cows could allow for easier ...
