The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level.

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

Imagine if you could fix a spelling mistake in a long document with just one click. Now, imagine doing the same with the genetic code of a plant or even a human cell. That’s ...
