Once dismissed as “junk,” pieces of ancient viral DNA in our genome are now known to help control which genes are turned on or off.

Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Scientists discovered that ancient viral DNA sequences called MER11, once dismissed as genetic junk, actually act as ...

Colon cancer is often driven by cancer stem cells, which resist treatment and lead to relapse. In a recent study, researchers ...

Colon cancer remains a major global health concern, ranking third among the most diagnosed cancers and leading causes of ...

A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene ...
