Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new ...

Once dismissed as “junk” DNA, ancient viruses embedded in the human genome play a key role in early human development, ...

Biologists have used machine learning, a type of AI, to identify “synthetic extreme” DNA sequences with specifically designed functions in gene activation. They tested 50 million DNA sequences ...

A study led by researchers at the University of Barcelona has identified the DNA regions that activate the regeneration of this organ.

Researchers in the Tapscott lab at Fred Hutch uncover that DUX4-induced activation of HSATII leads to nuclear sequestration of PRC1 and impairs DNA damage response.

Although the role of this pre-commitment state of cell division is not yet entirely clear, it appears to be a safety mechanism to avoid inappropriate cell division, and may also activate DNA ...
