Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...

Most mutations which cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a massive study of human protein variants published today in the ...

Scientists have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can find genetic mutations that cause disease and predict what kinds of illnesses those mutations are likely to lead to. The method ...
