Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

Inocras and the Broad Institute analyzed 8,000+ TCGA cancer genomes to uncover new drivers and create a harmonized dataset ...

Learn how small mutations in non-coding DNA can alter sex development in rodents.

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies – in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...
