Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Case Western Reserve University has identified a pattern of clustered genetic changes that appear to encourage growth of colorectal cancer tumors—a ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Scientists have created the first comprehensive map of DNA quadruplexes, fleeting knot-like structures that play an outsized ...

New Study Reveals How the C/G Fusion Hijacks DNA Methylation and Chromatin Architecture to Drive Aggressive AMKL Pediatric ...

University of Toronto (U of T) researchers have found that cancer cells can enhance tumor growth by hijacking enhancer DNA normally used when tissues and organs are formed. The mechanism, called ...

The researchers unravel the exact mechanism of how developmentally active enhancers become repurposed in a tumor context and show the relevance of this repurposing event for cancer. University of ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology Sophie Gillett, looked at regions of human genetic code that are known for ...
