Watch as DNA becomes protein in the process of protein synthesis.

DNA molecules contain coding regions—the genes that code for proteins—and non-coding regions that are involved in the mechanisms that regulate or organize the genome.

Scientists have found that non-coding 'junk' DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer.

A new technique which colour codes DNA for laser sequencing may offer a faster and cheaper way of sequencing genomes compared with conventional methods. By dyeing each of DNA's four building ...

Michelini et al. show that RNA polymerase II is recruited to double-strand breaks to induce long non-coding RNAs and the generation of small DNA damage response RNAs that promote ...

Both microRNAs (miRNAs) and other small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are induced by DNA breaks and have been linked to the DNA damage response. This interplay between ncRNAs and repair factors may ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. Explore new technology used in the St. Jude-led discovery.

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 ...
