Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape and health. But sometimes, these genes mutate. And while the word itself ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

International team uncovers gene mutations that cause rare and aggressive cancer in both cats and humans. Their findings could provide a path to treatments for both species.Cat lovers have more in ...

One of the most intriguing findings was for cat breast cancers, more than half of which showed a mutation in a gene called FBXW7. The change is far rarer in human mammary cancers, but the prognosis ...

Learn how cats and humans can share key cancer mutations — and why those similarities could guide future treatment research.

Horses are just as much a part of New Mexico’s story as green chile and balloons. One local startup is hoping their research ...

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 ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.
