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

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 ...

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

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

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 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 ...

Scientists are celebrating DNA Day, marking the completion of the human genome project in 2003. The project successfully ...

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