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 ...

Study lead Associate Professor Elisa De Franco, of the University of Exeter Medical School, said, "For the first time, we found that DNA changes in non-protein coding genes cause neonatal diabetes.

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in disease progression. Disrupt them and negate whatever role they play in ...

A new study identifies PTCHD1-AS as a key non-coding gene that shapes social and repetitive behaviors in autism without affecting cognition.

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

Researchers have pinpointed a long non-coding gene that plays a distinct role in the social and stereotypic repetitive ...

Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...
