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

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

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...

Neonatal autoimmune diabetes is caused by mutations in non-coding genes RNU4ATAC and RNU6ATAC, which disrupt gene regulation ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development ...
