Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

Imagine your doctor calls you to discuss the results of your genetic testing. They tell you your results indicate you are highly likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. But not to worry, because they ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Why evolutionary genetics does not always add up / Edmund D. Brodie III -- Beyond the average : the evolutionary importance of gene interactions and variability of epistatic effects / Patrick C.

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team recently showed that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...
