Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as "junk DNA" or "dark matter," that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and ...

Recombination of repeated sequences in the human genome is widespread and results in the genomic diversity that underlies physiology and pathology, scientists at the RIKEN Center for Integrative ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become longer and more unstable as we age. The study found ...

So-called junk DNA was given that unfortunate nickname because its function was so mysterious. These vast regions of the genome do not code for protein and are made up of highly repetitive sequences.

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

Welcome back to a new semester of Dissertation Diaries. As a reminder, this is the series where we highlight Ph.D. students at Tufts as they approach the end of their degree. This time, we will be ...

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elegen, a leader in DNA innovation, today announced the expedited delivery of high-complexity DNA sequences longer than 15,000 base pairs to members of their ...
