In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the Arc Institute describe the development and advantages ...

The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, but that only accounts for roughly two percent of the genome. For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that ...

Scientists today released what they say is the biggest-ever artificial-intelligence (AI) model for biology. The model — which was trained on 128,000 genomes spanning the tree of life, from humans to ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

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 ...

The non-coding genome, once referred to as "junk DNA," is now understood to be a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key factor in understanding complex diseases. Image credit: ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may influence how long a ...
