UCLA researchers use lipid nanoparticles to insert full CFTR gene into airway cells, restoring function and opening new ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has been completed and released on a new website. For the first ...

More than 25 years after its initial launch, the Gene Ontology Consortium has published a new resource of human gene functions to support more accurate scientific analyses. The Gene Ontology, a ...

This article was review by Paul Sternberg, PhD from the California Institute of Technology and the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC). Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. The ...

DFNB16, a recessive form of mild-to-moderate human deafness, is caused by mutations in the STRC gene, which encodes stereocilin, a protein essential for the effective function of outer hair cells as ...

New techniques to detect Y chromosome genes show frequent loss of the Y in tissues of older men. The increase with age is clear: 40% of 60-year-old men show loss of Y, but 57% of 90-year-olds.
