Researchers have identified 813 possible cancer driver genes, significantly expanding the list of potential therapeutic targets for treating the disease. The genes help cancer cells grow through a non ...

Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers harness long-read RNA sequencing to decode genetic intricacies and disease links. Alternative splicing, a process where a single gene can give ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

Researchers have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular machine in human biology. The vast majority of human genes -- more than nine in ten -- ...

DNA is the genetic code that provides the biological instructions for every living species, but not every bit of DNA helps the species survive. Some pieces of DNA are more like parasites, along for ...

The predicted protein structure of FNBP1, one of the potential cancer-driving genes. The study predicts that inclusion of the exon (in yellow) helps cancer cells grow and spread. Researchers at the ...
