This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Image Caption: Technologies evolved related to the Human Genome Project. Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on ...

Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

In a keynote talk during GEN’s “The State of CRISPR & Genome Editing” virtual summit, originally broadcast on June 11, 2025, Neville Sanjana, PhD, Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center and ...

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 ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.
