When it comes to identifying cancer-driving mutations, research has focused almost exclusively on understanding how mutations in the coding region of genes may alter a protein’s function to promote ...

Less than two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, with the rest being noncoding and likely helping with gene regulation. Mutations in the noncoding genome often trigger trait changes that ...

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method to identify conserved noncoding mutations in the genome that may play a driving role in medulloblastoma brain tumors in children. The ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and others have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by mutations in a single gene, that affects tens of thousands of people ...
