Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...

The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

Estimating that ReNU2 syndrome could account for around 10 percent of recessive neurodevelopmental disorder cases with a ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, ...
