The function of most of the human genome is unknown. Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction (about 3%) of the total genome sequence; most functional genomic sequences are likely to ...
The Human Genome Project produced an almost complete order of the 3 billion pairs of chemical letters in the DNA that embodies the human genetic code -- but little about the way this blueprint works.
Back in 2001, the Human Genome Project gave us a nigh-complete readout of our DNA. Somehow, those As, Gs, Cs, and Ts contained the full instructions for making one of us, but they were hardly a simple ...
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
Our genes play a major role in making us who we are, but a lot of information about their function has been mysterious. That’s why an international team of researchers set out to figure out what the ...
In a novel form of peer review, a biologist has given an colorfully fiery critique of a genome research consortium. Here's why. By Rebecca Boyle Published Feb 25, 2013 9:59 PM EST Add Popular Science ...
Genome Research publishes a special issue dedicated to The ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) Project, whose goal is to characterize all functional elements in the human genome. From the completion ...
