The non-coding genome, once referred to as "junk DNA," is now understood to be a fundamental regulator of gene expression and ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

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 ...

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published earlier ...

However, for decades after the discovery of DNA and how genes encode for proteins, scientists mostly disregarded the non-coding parts of the genome as 'junk.' But in recent years, advances in genetic ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

Both satellite repeats and pseudogenes are non-coding, with the former being comprised of larger sections of repeating DNA sequences while the latter are structurally similar to genes.

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 ...
