Without 8 or 9 hours of sleep, most of us end up staggering around like zombies. But according to a new study, some people have a genetic mutation that makes them feel perfectly alive after sleeping ...

Researchers discovered a genetic mutation that could explain why some individuals thrive on as little as three hours of sleep per night. The study, published on May 5 in the journal Proceedings of the ...

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. Now, researchers have ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

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 ...

In a major advance, researchers have successfully corrected genetic mutations in neurons with a single injection into the brains of a mouse model. This technique did not completely reverse the disease ...
