Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

One person’s junk is another’s treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of “junk” DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are ...

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 ...

A recent review highlights the critical role of DNA exonucleases and endonucleases in immune response and disease management, shedding new light on their potential applications in genomic stability, ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Key points Genomics delves into the genetic make-up of organisms, which helps us understand how they work.With new ...
