DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...
