There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...
Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...
Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

Flipping a single DNA letter can trigger complete sex reversal
Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein. In the last ...
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development ...
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 ...
The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, but that only accounts for roughly two percent of the genome. For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that ...
