As one of the building blocks of the human genome, DNA has become an important agent in medicine and forensic crime-fighting. Now DNA may be used to tag merchandise with codes that counterfeiters ...

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non-coding regions of the genome contributing to chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia ...

The accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the ageing process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in ...

DNA might remain the same, but the amount of data we can transplant within the genetic code is growing substantially by the year, as researchers have just discovered. In the near future, the ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...
