DNA sequence once overlooked as ‘junk’ found to drive human chromosome fusions
Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...
DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still ...
An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in the animals’ mouths and bodies more than one million years ago. The study, ...
