Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the technologies available did not allow them to be studied at sufficient resolution.

A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by ...

Cutting-edge genetics research reveals a startling legacy embedded in our DNA.

A recent study published in Nature suggests that a specific genetic sequence, which does not produce proteins, plays a ...

Eli Lilly and Co. has signed another billion-dollar deal, this time with Boston-based Ascidian Therapeutics Inc., a company that is barely four years old and one that is focused on treating human ...

Mobile DNA, once treated largely as genomic clutter, may help plants build new ways to respond to environmental stress.

Aquatic genomics has become a central field in understanding how genome organization and regulatory dynamics shape phenotypic diversity and important ...
