Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non ...

A new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine suggests the non-coding genetic molecules also play a key role in health and disease, including tumor development. More ...

At Hawaiʻi’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, a research team is taking genetic coding to a whole new level. First, let’s talk a bit about what the field of genetics is and why it’s important.

Scientists have discovered hundreds of genes that could potentially promote cancer, new research shows. Cancer is typically triggered by some kind of change to our genetic coding that interferes ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that might be ...

Scientists studying Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified thousands of genetic variants in the genome in the development of this progressive neurodegenerative disease.

The study, involving genetic analysis of thousands of individuals with intellectual disability (ID), discovered that mutations in a small noncoding gene called RNU4-2 cause a collection of ...

Companies who use the genetic coding of the natural world to design products ranging from weight-loss drugs to cosmetics faced renewed calls on Tuesday to help pay to protect it as a dedicated ...
