A new study compares the accumulation of mutations across many animal species and has shed new light on decades-old questions about the role of these genetic changes in ageing and cancer.

The new study found that animals with shorter generation times had fewer inherited mutations. Oliver Krueger If they found a mutation in around 50% of an offspring’s DNA, they concluded that it was ...

The animal, which has a genetic mutation and was born with no melanin, had pink ears and snout. Another albino deer was spotted in Greensboro, North Carolina, in January, according to My Fox 8.

Life Animals that care for young may have more mutations and evolve faster. An experiment in beetles shows that when parents care for their young, the population accumulates more mutations over ...

Other researchers in the collaboration made similar mutations in roundworms and zebrafish to study how the mutations affected multicellular animals and, in the case of the zebrafish, brain ...

Mutations Spreading? Studies in other animals—mostly smaller ones like birds, rodents, and insects—show that Chernobyl radiation can cause mutations and ill health effects, ...

Researchers identified an unusual genetic mutation in orange domestic cats that has not been found in any other animal, according to a new study.

A unique diamondback rattlesnake was discovered near Scottsdale, Ariz., on Saturday, May 10. The snake bears a leopard print-like pattern on its scales, which experts say is a genetic mutation.

A new study looks at 3D models of the coronavirus spike protein and animal proteins to determine which animals are most susceptible to infection with Covid-19.

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations ...
