A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that no amount of later effort can fully undo. Researchers are now tracing how ...
Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...
Geneticists have sought to understand the impact of genetic mutations, and what drives and maintains changes in DNA. Researchers have now reconstructed the evolution of a set of genes, and the ...
