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 ...

Understanding the genetic cause of neonatal diabetes opens the door to developing new treatments and improving patient care.

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

Typically, female mouse embryos with two X chromosomes develop ovaries because a gene called Sox9 is suppressed. In male ...

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 have developed a method to swiftly screen the non-coding DNA of the human genome for links to diseases that are driven by changes in gene regulation. The technique could revolutionize ...
