Researchers have successfully employed an algorithm to identify potential mutations which increase disease risk in the noncoding regions our DNA, which make up the vast majority of the human genome.

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of ...

The rest is known as non-coding DNA. For decades, scientists considered the non-coding region genetic to be junk, with no purpose. That view has changed. Non-coding DNA contains regulatory ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine) have ...

Swiss start-up Haya Therapeutics has formed a partnership with Eli Lilly – worth up to $1 billion – to look for new therapies for obesity in non-coding DNA. The biotech focuses on trawling the ...

The study reveals that mutations in a small, previously overlooked non-coding gene called RNU2-2 are responsible for relatively common NDD. Non-coding genes are genes that don't produce proteins ...
