This AI system can analyze up to one million DNA letters at once, predicting how tiny changes in noncoding regions trigger ...

A hallmark feature of chromosome 19 is its unusually high density of genes. On average, 26 protein-coding gene loci were found per megabase, and exons cover 3.55 Mb of the sequence (6.4%), a ...

The human body is composed of billions of cells, each of which is made and maintained through countless interactions among its molecular parts. But which interactions sustain health and which ones can ...

Largest-ever map of plant protein interactions Date: July 30, 2011 Source: Salk Institute Summary: Researchers have mapped and analyzed thousands of protein-to-protein interactions within the ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has just been completed and released on a new website.For the ...

These studies have yielded about 120,000 variants, but only 7% of these are located within protein-coding genes, leaving 93% that lie in regions of noncoding DNA.

Researchers therefore assumed that many - even most - disease-linked DNA variants affect proteins indirectly, by regulating one or more steps in the gene-to-protein production process, thereby ...

CRELD1 is one of the rarest genetic conditions in the world, but there is currently no known cure. | ITV News Meridian ...

The human genome was found to contain 20,000 protein-coding genes, which accounts for just 2% of our DNA. The rest of was written off as junk – but it plays a vital role.

But in the 1950s, scientists also began to discover bits of DNA outside the protein-coding regions that were important too. These so-called regulatory elements acted as switches for protein-coding ...

A large international team has produced the largest map of interactions between gene-encoded protein molecules. A decade in the making, the map has the power to reveal the function of lesser ...
