The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

The genes of great white sharks defy scientific explanation. An animal's genome can be deeply revealing, but ever since researchers started decoding great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) DNA more ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

A new model offers a possible solution to the scientific question of why neutral sequences, sometimes referred to as 'junk DNA', are not eliminated from the genome of living creatures in nature and ...

The genes of great white sharks defy scientific explanation. An animal's genome can be deeply revealing, but ever since researchers started decoding great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) DNA more ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Unlike "junk email" that is immediately deleted from the email box, "junk DNA" continues to exist in living creatures in nature such as bacteria, insects, and even mammals such as humans, alongside ...
