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

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

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

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 ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA ...
