In cancer, the impact on cellular fitness of copy-number gains affecting collaterally-amplified genes remains poorly understood compared to oncogenes. Here, the authors integrate genomic data from ...

Background De novo mutations (DNMs) are linked with many severe early-onset disorders ranging from rare congenital malformation to intellectual disability. Conventionally, DNMs are considered to have ...

While the virus is generally found in wild birds and poses risk only to poultry, its spread to a new range of mammals may pave the way for new mutations that could increase its lethality. In 2024, the ...

In a family of 15 people in northern Italy, six developed late-onset Alzheimer’s disease – and when researchers ran genetic tests, all six had a rare mutation in a protein-coding gene known as ...

Summary: A new study has uncovered a direct link between somatic mutations and epigenetic modifications, challenging established views on aging. Researchers found that random genetic mutations drive ...

Update: We have added multiple new mutations to this list which were added in the Atlantis update to Fisch, and explained how to get them! We also adjusted some of the multiplier values in this ...

Mapping genetic variations to phenotypic variations poses a significant challenge, as mutations often combine unexpectedly, diverging from assumed additive effects even in the same environment. These ...
