Blood proteins serve as crucial indicators of health and disease risk throughout development. Now, researchers at the ...

A genetic study published on Tuesday offers an important new clue. Researchers found that, between 250,000 and 500,000 years ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Scientists have identified a tiny genetic change—present in nearly all living humans but absent in our closest extinct ...

A new study links a particular gene to the origins of spoken language, proposing that a protein variant found only in humans may have helped us develop speech.

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

A gene variant present in most people might have contributed to cognitive differences between humans and their closest ...

A specific gene variant seen in people is likely one of many that contributed to the development of language in modern humans ...

Now researchers from The Rockefeller University have unearthed intriguing genetic evidence: a protein variant found only in humans that may have helped shape the emergence of spoken language.

Solid Biosciences’ gene therapy uses a shortened version of the dystrophin protein, which is engineered to mimic the key ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or ...
