Scientists Decipher DNA’s Mysterious Hidden Rules Across Species
A new study reveals that in the single-celled fungi yeast, “random DNA” is naturally active, whereas in mammalian cells, this DNA is turned off as…
Genomics is a field of biology centered on mapping, understanding, and editing genomes. Recent breakthroughs in genomics have increased our understanding of hereditary diseases like diabetes, cancer, and lymphoma as well as assisted in work done in evolutionary biology and ecology.
