This AI system can analyze up to one million DNA letters at once, predicting how tiny changes in noncoding regions trigger ...

"A major reason is that the majority of the human DNA sequence, more than 98 percent, is non-protein-coding, and we do not yet have a genetic code book to unlock the information embedded in these ...

Not only can transposable elements be useful, but new evidence shows they may have been powerfully linked to primate evolution.

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature.An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

However, only 1% of DNA is coding, while the other 99% is termed non-coding. Once considered useless, scientists now recognize that the non-coding region plays a key role in regulating biological ...

It has been previously found that non-coding or repetitive patterns of DNA – which make up around half of our genome – could disrupt the replication of the genome.

The mechanism reveals that damages to non-coding DNA, which are often hidden, accumulate more in slowly proliferating tissues, such as those of the liver or kidneys.

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. Explore new technology used in the St. Jude-led discovery.

Researchers have found that junk DNA, or non-coding DNA, can break—and if it isn’t repaired, can contribute to the development of dementia and more.

The expression of ZNF558 itself is regulated by the size of a non-coding structural element in DNA called a VNTR, short for variable number tandem repeat that is longer in chimpanzees than in humans.

DNA molecules contain coding regions—the genes that code for proteins—and non-coding regions that are involved in the mechanisms that regulate or organize the genome.
