Scientists studying Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified thousands of genetic variants in the genome in the development of this progressive neurodegenerative disease. These variants are ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

So-called disease genes may not cause disease, or particularly severe disease, in all who carry the genes. Why should some carriers of disease genes, which are typically protein-coding genes, be ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.

Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non-coding ...

Explore the fascinating ways dog breeds continue to evolve through genetic influences. Coat Length The fluffy Afghan Hound ...

Lefties, take note: We know a little more about the genetic basis for your dominant hand. Researchers have identified a rare genetic variant coding for a protein that may be partially responsible for ...

The pea is one of many important crop species that is unsuited to the Agrobacterium-based genetic modification techniques that are commonly used to work with crops. Researchers have now discovered the ...

Researchers have found a previously unknown genetic factor -- a common non-coding sequence of DNA -- that can either raise or reduce the risk of coronary artery disease or ischemic stroke.
