DNA sequence once overlooked as ‘junk’ found to drive human chromosome fusions
Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...
Scientists have found that non-coding 'junk' DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. Their study has shown how non-coding DNA can get in the ...
Much of the genetic difference between modern humans and our archaic ancestors – Neanderthals and Denisovans – is not in our genes themselves, which make up only 2 percent of the human genome, but in ...
Circular DNA, thought to be an accidental byproduct, is borrowing the cell’s DNA repair mechanisms to copy itself DURHAM, N.C. -- Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a ...
