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, ...

Image Caption: Technologies evolved related to the Human Genome Project. Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on ...

"With up to half of individuals with rare diseases currently living without a diagnosis, exploring the non-coding DNA can provide answers for families with rare conditions." The researchers found that ...

Researchers have developed a method to swiftly screen the non-coding DNA of the human genome for links to diseases that are driven by changes in gene regulation. The technique could revolutionize ...

From single DNA letter swaps to hidden non-coding tweaks, mutations can rewire how our bodies work—sometimes in life-changing ways. Scientists are uncovering how these changes influence protein ...

From the twists of the double helix to the vast diversity captured in pangenomes, our understanding of DNA is expanding beyond a static code. Researchers are uncovering the hidden influence of ...

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

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a ...

Long Noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are proven to be critical in cancer biology playing a significant role in tumor formation and ...
