An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing ...
