Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...
Scientists have shown that defects in the protein CAPRIN1 are the cause of various neurological impairments. These new insights were made possible by exome analyses, in which scientists observe which ...
Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...
