Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

As high-throughput genomic sequencing generates increasing data volumes, researchers face challenges in identifying functional gene regions within DNA ...
