Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, yet many individuals spend almost a decade in poor health ...

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

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

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

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

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.

UNSW scientists have uncovered the hidden switches in DNA, revealing new insights into Alzheimer's disease.When most of us think of DNA, we have a ...

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 ...

The bean-shaped organelles are now being recognized for their part in immune signaling, stress responses, and neural ...
