Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

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

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 ...

Neonatal autoimmune diabetes is caused by mutations in non-coding genes RNU4ATAC and RNU6ATAC, which disrupt gene regulation ...

Estimating that ReNU2 syndrome could account for around 10 percent of recessive neurodevelopmental disorder cases with a ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...

Scientists have discovered that increased expression of a novel long non-coding RNA drives glioblastoma cell growth alongside ...
