Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published today in Nature Communications.

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 ...

Genes are DNA sequences that code for a protein. It is an unusual feature of most genes that the sequence of nucleotides that code for a protein is regularly interrupted by non-coding stretches of DNA ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in which genes they ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
