WEHI researchers have solved a decades-long mystery by determining the structure of human PINK1, a key protein linked to ...

Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. "Jumping genes" are one cause of mutations, but cells try and combat them with a specialized RNA called piRNA.

One of the ways it can spread to healthy poultry farms is by a single infected duck visiting a flock and shedding the virus ...
