POLG-related diseases disrupt the function of the mitochondria, or "powerhouses" of the cell — starving them of energy.

Baccarelli, who studies how environmental toxins could trigger changes in DNA methylation and gene expression, also takes an agnostic view. Many studies from the early 2000s, particularly those ...

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

The study focused on DNA sequences inherited at conception, known as a person's germline genome, rather than on mutations that can accumulate during a person's lifetime as cells divide during ...
