Genetic disorders can result from DNA mutations, chromosome abnormalities, inherited variants, de novo mutations, mitochondrial changes, epigenetic mechanisms, and interactions between genes and the environment.
Mutations are changes in DNA sequence that can influence genes, genetic variation, disease, and evolution. Learn about substitutions, insertions, deletions, frameshift mutations, somatic and germline mutations, DNA repair, cancer mutations, and genome stability.
The DNA damage response is a cellular defense system that detects DNA damage, coordinates repair, regulates cell-cycle checkpoints, and protects the stability of the genome.
Genomic instability describes the increased tendency of cells to accumulate genetic alterations due to failures in DNA repair, replication fidelity, and chromosome segregation. It plays a central role in cancer development, ageing, and hereditary disorders.
DNA repair is essential for maintaining genome stability and protecting genetic information. Explore how cells detect, repair, and respond to different types of DNA damage.
DNA structure allows genetic information to be stored, copied, and expressed. Explore the DNA double helix, nucleotides, base pairing, chromosomes, chromatin, replication, and genome organization.
