A new study shows that repetitive DNA, once dismissed as “junk,” plays a critical role in shaping the human brain.

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non ...

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published earlier ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. Explore new technology used in the St. Jude-led discovery.

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Non-coding DNA had previously been implicated in neurological conditions via several different mechanisms, but the role of strand breaks and their repair is a new finding. According to the study ...

The non-coding genome, once referred to as "junk DNA," is now understood to be a fundamental regulator of gene expression and ...

This Collection is open to original research examining noncoding DNA in disease, including studies examining the biology of noncoding DNA regions and exploring mutations in noncoding DNA in disease.

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 research.
