A new Nature study suggests DNA mutations in immune cells may drive autoimmune diseases by removing immune system brakes, ...

Learn how small mutations in non-coding DNA can alter sex development in rodents.

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

An international group led by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan has ...

A study using advanced DNA sequencing methods finds that somatic mutations in immune cells could drive autoimmune diseases.

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, ...

Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...

A study shows that changes in noncoding genes can trigger autoimmune diabetes in infants by affecting hundreds of ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development ...
