Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences. This ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

The accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the ageing process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non-coding regions of the genome contributing to chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia ...

(L to R) Co-first author Jackson Mobley, PhD, corresponding author Daniel Savic, PhD, and co-first author Kashi Raj Bhattarai, PhD, all of the St. Jude Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
