Researchers have developed a method to swiftly screen the non-coding DNA of the human genome for links to diseases that are driven by changes in gene regulation. The technique could revolutionize ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

DNA sequence optimization in molecular computing encompasses the purposeful design and refinement of oligonucleotide libraries to perform information processing tasks at the nanoscale. By exploiting ...

PlantGFM created synthetic plant DNA that tobacco cells copied into RNA, with some sequences producing detectable proteins in ...

A new study reveals that an extremely small change in a non-coding region of DNA can dramatically alter how sex develops in ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...
