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 ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Image Caption: Technologies evolved related to the Human Genome Project. Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to ...

Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...
