DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Non-protein-coding genes have been linked to a hereditary condition, retinitis pigmentosa, that causes progressive blindness.

Researchers from Radboud University Medical Center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...
