The small number of genetic differences between the original strain of the novel coronavirus from Wuhan and those currently circulating in the US population indicates that a vaccine may likely offer lasting immunity.

Researchers determined that the incidence of new genetic mutations is comparable in people of different ancestries, but lower in Amish people.

Colorectal tumor cells limit their DNA repair in response to a targeted therapy, giving them a greater chance to develop resistance to the drug.

Autophagy may keep cell division in check to help protect against cancer-causing DNA damage.

Genetic mutations create lab mice with unusually long and short tails.
