Researchers have discovered 195 genomic regions jointly associated with schizophrenia and osteoporosis-related traits, ...

Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...

So-called disease genes may not cause disease, or particularly severe disease, in all who carry the genes. Why should some carriers of disease genes, which are typically protein-coding genes, be ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Approximately one in five adults with spontaneous coronary artery dissection with high-risk features had an ...

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-coding ...

When proteins are produced in cells based on the "genetic code" of codons, there is a precise process under which molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA) bind to specific amino acids and then transport ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and collaborators at the University of Bristol, KU Leuven, and the NIHR BioResource, have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused ...

The pea is one of many important crop species that is unsuited to the Agrobacterium-based genetic modification techniques that are commonly used to work with crops. Researchers have now discovered the ...
