Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules whose role in gene regulation and their association with certain diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colorectal cancer, ...

Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers initially counted protein-coding genes—regions of chromosomal DNA that are ...

Of the roughly 20,000 genes that encode proteins, we’re only privy to a small fraction of their functions ... It’s the “next frontier” after the Human Genome Project, wrote the authors. These studies ...

The apparently striking phenotypic variation among human beings around the world can be accounted for by only an exceptionally small number of genetic differences. Genes that code for skin color ...

If you aced your SATs, you can thank at least a few of your genes. Scientist analyzed the DNA of 78,308 people. They discovered a link between intelligence and 52 specific genes. The better ...

As in the example of human diseases, genetically determined traits that would ordinarily be uncommon in the overall gene pool might crop up with distressing frequency in a small subset of that pool.

Many human diseases are multigenic, resulting from mutations in multiple genes that all affect a single ... limited to groups of individuals with a small family tree. Furthermore, the variable ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has just been completed and released on a new website. For ...
