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 ...

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

Mice have remained the focal point for life sciences research for the past several decades. Their universality in biomedicine ...

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

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists used decades old air filters to read DNA in dust, revealing a long decline in biodiversity across northern Sweden.

Taipei Metro riders can now enter stations using just their phones thanks to a new QR code feature. Available on nine local ...

Donald Trump's administration is turning immigration screening into the backbone of a DNA surveillance system that reaches ...
