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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
"With up to half of individuals with rare diseases currently living without a diagnosis, exploring the non-coding DNA can provide answers for families with rare conditions." The researchers found that ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
Researchers have pinpointed a long non-coding gene that plays a distinct role in the social and stereotypic repetitive ...
Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...
Breakthrough in CRISPR: HKUST scientists engineered a DNA-guided Cas12a system that targets and cleaves RNA with unprecedented precision. Practical advantages: DNA guides are cheaper, more stable, and ...
