To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us ...

Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...

Scientists profiling small non-coding RNAs in postmortem brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have identified sweeping molecular disruptions that extend well beyond the ...

Three studies published in Nature Genetics look at the identification of a common recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD).

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified and described a previously unknown ...

The superimposed green lines denote five affected individuals with recessive ReNU2 syndrome. The stark difference between affected and unaffected individuals enables accurate diagnostics and points to ...

New study finds junk DNA may actually protect the body from colorectal cancer. Learn how your genetic 'clutter' is actually a shield.

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed.

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over ...
