A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic variants can dramatically alter how fast this expansion happens, sometimes ...

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.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genyro Inc., a biotechnology company advancing next-generation DNA construction, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement ...

We often come to an understanding of what causes a disease. We know, for example, that cancers are caused by mutations at critical locations in the genome, resulting in loss of control of cell growth.

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...
