Maddy Buxton, Culture & Trends manager at YouTube, discusses how creators and digital animation on the platform are global, fan-driven, popular among young adults, and driving innovation and ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a ...

"With up to half of individuals with rare diseases currently living without a diagnosis, exploring the non-coding DNA can provide answers for families with rare conditions." The researchers found that ...

A 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 precise ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called 'junk' DNA—includes many of the "switches" that control when and ...
