Known as subclade K, a new, mutated flu strain that has dominated in Europe and Asia is now rapidly spreading across the US.

Half advice show. Half survival guide. Half absurdity-fest. (Wait, how does this work again? We're not numbers people.) Each episode, we answer all your burning questions, from how to survive a public ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

A newly developed AI can predict which diseases specific genetic mutations are likely to cause, not just whether they are ...
