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

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

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

Scientists identify the first non-coding gene that directly controls cell size, reshaping how biology explains growth and ...

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 research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

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