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

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 causes ...

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

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

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 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

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

Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...
