Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, ...

In a new study, stem cell scientists at the Lund University, Sweden, explore the role of non-coding regions of the genome—previously deemed to be functionless “junk” DNA—and find humans and ...

According to a new study, extra DNA scooped up and copied alongside cancer-causing genes helps keep tumors going -- elements that could represent new drug targets for brain tumors and other cancers ...

The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class-switch recombination of Ig genes. It has ...

In Eukarya, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is a highly regulated process, which is responsible for the transcription of all protein encoding genes. While the catalytic core of the Pol II ...
