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 have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...

Imagine a container of tomatoes arriving at the container terminal in Aarhus. The papers state that the tomatoes are from ...

A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

JABSOM Cell and Molecular Biology researcher Dr. Jesse Owens has spent the better part of two decades chasing a vision that ...

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 ...

DNA captured on air filters and stored since the 1960s acts as an ecological time capsule, according to a recent publication ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Researchers linked users to a higher rate of skin cell mutation, especially in places usually protected from sun exposure.
