Our complex genetic information can be sliced in many ways, but one common divisor is between coding and non-coding DNA. As their name suggests, only coding regions are later transcribed into RNA and ...

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 ...

Only 2% of human DNA contains the 'code' to produce proteins, key building blocks of life. The remaining 98% is 'non-coding' and was once thought to be unnecessary 'junk' DNA, but there is ...

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature. An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

They would go on expeditions to map the non-coding regions and try to figure out what they were made of. Some segments of DNA turned out to have functions, even if they didn’t encode proteins or ...

The mechanism reveals that damages to non-coding DNA, which are often hidden, accumulate more in slowly proliferating tissues ...

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 ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – May 01, 2024) St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non-coding regions of the genome contributing to chemotherapy ...
