Cis-regulatory elements (CREs)—including promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators—are critical non-coding DNA ...

This innovative software, CRISPRware, optimizes guide RNA design for genome editing, supporting research on genetic disorders ...

CRISPRware is a new tool scientists can use to design the best guide RNAs to edit genes in many organisms, without the need for deep bioinformatics expertise. By making gene editing more precise and ...

In a nutshell All modern humans share DNA from two ancient populations that split 1.5 million years ago and reunited through ...

Where is non-coding DNA stored? Great question! Just like the rest of our DNA, non-coding DNA is part of the genome. This means it is kept in the same place, tightly wound up in chromosomes in the ...

The secrets of splicing However, not all non-coding genomic regions consist of repetitive sequences. Some produce RNA molecules that assist in the transcription and translation of coding regions.
