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

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 causes ...

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

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

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 ...

Inocras and the Broad Institute analyzed 8,000+ TCGA cancer genomes to uncover new drivers and create a harmonized dataset ...

Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

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