Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may influence how long a ...

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may ...

Loss of the Y chromosome in aging men is widespread and increasingly linked to serious diseases, challenging assumptions that the Y has little biological importance beyond sex determination.

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

Discover how an ancient gene influences the sex of ant, bee, and wasp embryos, impacting conservation and breeding practices.

After nearly 40 years, a new study has found that children of Chernobyl workers have mutations within their DNA ...

As millions of ageing men lose the Y chromosome, evidence links this silent shift to heart disease, cancer and shorter lives – what’s at stake?
