Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

A team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has uncovered why children with the same leukemia-causing gene mutation can have dramatically different outcomes: It depends on ...

Most people typically get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Now, science says some people could thrive on just four hours of sleep, feeling completely rested and ready to go. It sounds ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human genome, together with protein-coding sequences,” said Donate Weghorn, a ...

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

In 2023, a prolific donor to a Danish sperm bank was found to carry a genetic mutation that can contribute to childhood cancers. Some parents were never warned, an investigation by DW and European ...

Research links variations in the gene GRIN2A to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness. The GRIN2A gene regulates communication between neurons by producing the ...

London — Sperm from a donor who unknowingly carried a cancer-causing gene has been used to conceive nearly 200 babies across Europe, an investigation by 14 European public service broadcasters, ...

Decades ago, India’s tigers were on the brink of extinction. Slowly, their numbers have rebounded. But that ecological success has prompted a dire problem—and a race to save many of them from genetic ...

Only a minority of the children who inherit the mutation will escape cancer in their lifetimes, according to an investigation. While the sperm was not sold to UK clinics, a small number of British ...
