For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as “junk,” thought to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell ...

Other surprising discoveries for the team included the finding that the invading strand binds to the entire complementary sequence of the donor DNA except for one available base pair that remains ...

The model was trained on public databases of experimental results testing how different sequences impact gene regulation. Researchers can enter a DNA sequence of up to one million letters, and the ...

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an ...

Potential role of 'junk DNA' sequence in aging, cancer Date: July 23, 2021 Source: Washington State University Summary: Researchers have recently identified a DNA region known as VNTR2-1 that ...

The consortium said that it increased the number of DNA bases from 2.92 billion to 3.05 billion, a 4.5% increase. But the count of protein-coding genes increased by just 0.4%, to 19,969.

“We found that, to search for the complementary sequence to use in the repair, RAD51 first unwinds the double helix of the donor DNA by inserting physical spacers to separate the unwoven strands ...
