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 ...

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 accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the aging process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in ...

Full-length lincRNAs were assembled from ONT long-read RNA-seq data, enabling the identification of lincRNAs activated under DNA methylation-deficient conditions. To further characterize these ...

DNA packaged into cancer cell-derived EV is not well appreciated. Here, we uncovered signatures of EV DNA secreted by pancreatic cancer cells. The cancer cells and non-cancer counterparts exhibit ...

Study lead Associate Professor Elisa De Franco, of the University of Exeter Medical School, said, "For the first time, we found that DNA changes in non-protein coding genes cause neonatal diabetes.

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 ...
