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 ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
