A good portion of human DNA is what scientists refer to as "junk" -- stuff left over from ancient viruses and such. But maybe ...

A microscopic organism from a freshwater pond is playing by a different set of genetic rules. The newly identified protist, ...

The DNA inside our cells isn’t just a series of instructions, but something far more dynamic. Like scientists, AI models ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

A ground-breaking study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution – a discovery that could pave the way for more ...

A new in silico design framework optimizes epi-ddRADseq enzyme pairs and size-selection windows across 75 plant species, ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

Genetic features known as transposons make up a large portion of many mammalian genomes, including humans', and they are now known to play a variety of roles. Some transposable elements (TEs) could be ...

Researchers have assembled the complete 21,166-base-pair ribosomal DNA repeat unit of the Japanese quail, only the second fully deciphered avian rDNA sequence after the chicken, revealing conserved ...

Scientists accidentally discovered a microscopic organism with a genetic code that breaks a rule researchers thought was ...
