Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...

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

We evaluate DeepCode on the PaperBench benchmark (released by OpenAI), a rigorous testbed requiring AI agents to independently reproduce 20 ICML 2024 papers from scratch. The benchmark comprises 8,316 ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human genome, together with protein-coding sequences,” said Donate Weghorn, a ...

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...
