Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function.

But their distinctive color comes with a genetic twist—most orange tabbies ... have found the X-linked mutation behind orange fur in house cats. This deletion mutation, a type of mutation ...

In a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 1, scientists identified a genetic mutation that probably contributes to some people’s limited sleep needs.

18-25 percent of the Danish population carries a genetic mutation that can make them resistant or even immune to HIV. This knowledge is used to develop modern treatments for the virus. Until now ...

Modern HIV medicine is based on a common genetic mutation. Now, researchers have traced where and when the mutation arose—and how it protected our ancestors from ancient diseases. What do a ...

A recent study has now revealed one of the genetic factors that contributes to this ability. The University of California, San Francisco, has identified a specific gene mutation named SIK3-N783Y.

New AI Tool Reveals Single-Cell Structure of Chromosomes -- In 3D May 28, 2025 — In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial ...

Abstract: Mutation is one of important operator in genetic algorithm, but the studies we have performed showed that conventional mutation based on floating coding had some shortcoming such as random ...
