Human genome far more active than thought
The GENCODE Consortium expects the human genome has twice as many genes than previously thought, many of which might have a role in cellular control and could be important in human disease. This remarkable discovery comes ...

Researchers identify and edit gene mutation implicated in familial heart disease
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most common causes of heart failure, affecting nearly 1 in 400 people worldwide. About 40%–50% of DCM cases are estimated to have an identifiable genetic cause, which explains ...

Finding long strands of RNA in skin development and disease
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have discovered how unusually long pieces of RNA work in skin cells. The RNA pieces, called "long non-coding RNAs" or "lncRNAs," help skin cells modulate ...

Study explores the effects of changes in the non-coding genome in neurodevelopmental disorders
Less than 2% of the human genome is made up of genes that code for proteins, with the remaining 98% being non-coding and involved in regulating gene expression. Scientists have found many changes in the coding region of the ...
