Ancient DNA has been pulled from a permafrost-preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia, and scientists are thrilled. They ...

Researchers from Radboud university medical center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

This work not only identified the genetic cause of RP but also further highlights the role that noncoding genes can have in genetic disorders.

Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...
