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

Here’s a fun fact about your DNA, only 2% of it contains actual genes!The rest of the 98%, which is often referred to as ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

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

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

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

If you thought we had explored all the important parts of our genome, think again. Scientists are puzzling over a collection of mystery DNA segments that seem to be essential to the survival of ...
