Delving into the Non-Coding Genome: Unraveling the Genetics of Blood Pressure Regulation and Hypertension
A study by scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Canada has found new genetic sequences that could inform interventions aimed at reducing high blood pressure. The scientists identified commonly overlooked fragments of the genome known as non-coding DNA, but used computer-assisted techniques to investigate genetic variants and their likely effect on nearby … Read more
