Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways ...

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 ...

The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, but that only accounts for roughly two percent of the genome. For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that ...

While it was once believed that genes regulated biological functions almost exclusively by being transcribed to coding RNAs that were then translated into proteins, it is now known that the picture is ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

A group led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan have developed a new method, RADICL-seq, which allows scientists to better understand how RNA interacts ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

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 ...

Buried in DNA once written off as “background noise”, a tiny non-coding gene has been tied to a surprisingly common childhood ...
