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 ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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