Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...

Researchers have been trying to solve the mystery of a rare genetic disorder called spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) for many years. The disease causes impairments in movement and balance, and these ...

One of the most immediate impacts of AI in medical genetics lies in diagnosis, particularly for rare and complex genetic ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

Researchers develop a groundbreaking genomic mapping to reveal how genes interact to cause diseases, paving the way for ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) are delving deep into the non-coding genome to unravel the complex genetics that underlie blood pressure regulation and hypertension (high blood ...

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...
