When two defective gene variants combine, normal protein function can sometimes be restored.

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

Using the largest sample of super-agers to date, scientists have found convincing evidence that supports what many of us have ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

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

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...
