IPA, a non-coding RNA from the CUL1 gene that stabilizes the nucleolus and supports ribosome production. Removing it ...

The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

As high-throughput genomic sequencing generates increasing data volumes, researchers face challenges in identifying functional gene regions within DNA ...

A new study published in the journal Addiction Neuroscience provides evidence that cannabidiol may help prevent the heightened behavioral response associated with the combined use of cocaine and ...

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...
