Gene mutations have consequences both good and bad—from resistance to conditions like diabetes to susceptibility to certain ...

Researchers unveil the inner mechanisms of the most intricate and complex molecular machine in human biology. Scientists at the Centre (CRG) in Barcelona have developed the first comprehensive ...

This way of making different proteins from the same gene is called "alternative splicing," and it is one of the reasons human physiology is so complex. But this is the first time Alu elements have ...

20, 2024 — A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a ...

Nov. 8, 2024 — Scientists believe individuals of the most recently discovered 'hominin' group (the Denisovans) that interbred with modern day humans passed on some of their genes via multiple ...

Trace Neuroscience aims to advance an RNA-binding therapy designed to preserve — and potentially improve — muscle function in ...

Genetic counselling is an educational process that aims to inform and advise patients and relatives at risk of a genetic condition about the nature of the disorder, the probability of developing ...

Under the terms of the deal, Spark will get access to the Barcelona-based company’s Protein Splicing platform, designed to get around the problem that some gene therapies have amino acid ...

Your DNA may predict more about you than the way you look. According to the genetic theory of aging, your genes (as well as mutations in those genes) are responsible for how long you'll live. Here's ...
