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 ...

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

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
