June 12 -- WEDNESDAY, June 11 (HealthDay News) -- Subtle changes in the DNA's chemical coding may make the bowel more susceptible to cancer by making the cells addicted to turning the switch on in ...

In an unprecedented pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes, researchers at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) have discovered new regions of non-coding DNA that, when altered ...

About 20 years ago, DNA coding for viral proteins was found to induce strong immune responses in rodents, but so far, tests in humans have failed to duplicate that success. In a paper appearing in ...

A new approach to cataloguing biodiversity, known as DNA bar-coding, has identified more than a dozen potentially new North American bird species previously overlooked by legions of ecologists and ...

But what if we used musical notes to find out something useful about DNA sequences, like where mutations occur? So I put on my coding hat and devised a tool that converts a DNA sequence into an ...

Most of these risk variants, however, are found within non-coding regions—parts of DNA that do not encode for proteins—whose function in disease development has been poorly understood.

Canadian researchers have co-written a biodiversity study on DNA "bar-coding" they say will pave the way for cataloguing the world's organisms and lead to the discovery of untold numbers of new ...

(b) Illustration of the DNA Palette encoding process: The DNA Palette code establishes a bijection between binary sequences and sets of oligos). This study is led by Dr. Yingjin Yuan (Frontiers ...
