Beyond “junk DNA”: Scientists find a hidden gene that controls cell size

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new research adds to growing evidence that this vast genetic landscape plays a ...

Comprehensive map links DNA’s 3D structure to gene activity in the nucleus

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...
