New methods offer insight into regulatory DNA
Through the Human Genome Project, the HapMap Project and other efforts, we are beginning to identify genes that are modified in some diseases. More difficult to measure and identify are the regulatory regions in DNA - the 'managers' of genes - that control gene activity and might be important in... view more (2005-12-16)

One man's junk may be a genomic treasure
Scientists have only recently begun to speculate that what's referred to as "junk" DNA - the 96 percent of the human genome that doesn't encode for proteins and previously seemed to have no useful purpose - is present in the genome for an important reason.   view more (2007-07-13)
