While the large proportion of our genome that does not instruct our cells to form proteins has been harder to study than protein-coding genes, it has been shown to have vital physiological functions.

Using STING-seq, short for systematic targeting and inhibition of noncoding GWAS loci with single cell sequencing, Sanjana and his team identified promising sequence variants linked to various ...

A novel bioinformatics approach for classifying proteins according to similarity of function, rather than of sequence, is described in the April 12 PNAS. Albert Y. Lau and Daniel I. Chasman of ...

The expression pattern of a single gene or multiple genes can be investigated using a technique RNA microarray. In this technique, RNA molecules are ‘spotted’ onto a solid surface. These act as probes ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

HOUSTON – (June 21, 2022) – It’s a given that certain bacteria and viruses can cause illness and disease, but the real culprits are the sequences of concern that lie within the genomes of these ...

For more than 50 years, the mathematician Neil Sloane has curated the authoritative collection of interesting and important integer sequences. Neil Sloane is considered by some to be one of the most ...
