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

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 ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Understanding the genetic cause of neonatal diabetes opens the door to developing new treatments and improving patient care.

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 ...
