A groundbreaking study has identified how previously mysterious mutations in non-coding DNA contribute to kidney disease, ...

Most of these variants map to noncoding genomic regions ... Parking a giant CRISPR repressor on DNA is helpful for discovering causal variants, but it is not realistic in a biological sense. STING-seq ...

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature. An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene ...

Swiss start-up Haya Therapeutics has formed a partnership with Eli Lilly – worth up to $1 billion – to look for new therapies for obesity in non-coding DNA. The biotech focuses on trawling the ...

"And it was noncoding DNA [introns] that was 100% conserved in all the apes and 100% absent in all the monkeys," he told Live Science. In human cells, the researchers confirmed that the same Alu ...

The involvement of noncoding mRNAs in many regulatory processes ... that an "RNA world" may have preceded the evolution of DNA and proteins (Gilbert, 1986). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs ...

The new study analyzed sperm cells from 58 individuals, looking at two types of epigenetic markers: DNA methylation and small noncoding RNA. DNA methylation is a chemical reaction that adds a tag to ...

Researchers here looked at two epigenetic markers: DNA methylation and small noncoding RNA. The findings showed a "different ...
