Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...
A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.
In recent years, the development of large-scale sequencing projects has identified numerous genomic variants in the human genome. For instance, the NyuWa genome resource (Cell Reports, 2021), led by ...
New insights into how genetic variants in noncoding regions of the genome can contribute to disease risk by disrupting transcription factor (TF) binding have been uncovered. Footprint quantitative ...
Genetic studies now identify millions of variants across human populations, yet most disease-associated signals fall outside protein-coding regions. This ...
Each cell in the body is like a miniscule bowl of genetic soup, holding RNA from thousands of genes. But unlike an actual bowl of soup, which can forgive a little too much or not enough of certain ...
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...
