Researchers have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of lncRNAs in the testes than had ...

Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. In fact, you may have heard that humans and chimps ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

For decades, scientists thought the noncoding parts of DNA were useless leftovers. Today, that view has completely changed.

“Junk DNA” is a bit of a controversial term. Since as early as the 1960s, its been used describe the 98% of the genome that doesn’t code for proteins, and, while the name stuck, research over the past ...

The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new ...
