Sorting through non-coding DNA to find the root of chemotherapy resistance "The non-coding 98% of the genome contains instructions," said co-first author Jackson Mobley, Ph.D., St. Jude Department ...

For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that extra genetic material, and it was written off as ...

What about the rest of the cases of CHD? Noncoding DNA elements have long been thought to play a role in CHD, but few variants have been pinned down as causative. New work from the lab of ...

Scientists have found that non-coding ‘junk’ DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. Their study has shown how non-coding DNA can get in the ...

Swiss start-up Haya Therapeutics has formed a partnership with Eli Lilly – worth up to $1 billion – to look for new therapies for obesity in non-coding DNA. The biotech focuses on trawling the ...

Introns are non-coding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, which are spliced out, or removed, before the RNA molecule is translated into a protein.

Using CRISPR technology that targets RNA instead of DNA, researchers at New York University and the New York Genome Center searched across the genome and found nearly 800 noncoding RNAs important ...
