Mouse (left) and chicken (right) during development. Both species use conserved signaling pathways to form the craniofacial ...

Researchers have pinpointed a long non-coding gene that plays a distinct role in the social and stereotypic repetitive ...

Changes in non-coding DNA sequences make all the difference.

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic ...

Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...

RNA is the means of translating the genetic code embedded in DNA into proteins, which serve as enzymes, transporters, ...

A new study identifies PTCHD1-AS as a key non-coding gene that shapes social and repetitive behaviors in autism without affecting cognition.

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Breakthrough in CRISPR: HKUST scientists engineered a DNA-guided Cas12a system that targets and cleaves RNA with unprecedented precision. Practical advantages: DNA guides are cheaper, more stable, and ...

An international consortium has found over 1,700 new proteins from noncoding DNA, many of which show potential as targets for ...

Shapes of beaks and snouts come in an extraordinary range of forms, reflecting adaptations to different lifestyles and ...
