Our complex genetic information can be sliced in many ways, but one common divisor is between ... he adds. What’s the effect of this unexpected variation? “We don’t have a full understanding of the ...

An international research team, led by Jian-Feng Mao, has developed PlantLncBoost, a new computational tool that helps to ...

We’re identifying more and more of these non-coding genes ... brings up the total to over a 1% genomic difference between the sexes. What’s more, the downstream effects of SRY are much ...

and the DFE differs between coding and non-coding DNA. Despite these differences between species and genomic regions, some general principles have emerged: advantageous mutations are rare ...

If humans were computers DNA would be our coding - it tells us how to grow and function. DNA instructions sit inside cells and the full set of DNA is called a genome. In humans, the genome ...

Scientists have identified a gene that appears to have evolved rapidly in people and contributed to the emergence of the uniquely human brain. Rather than coding for a protein, as about half of ...
