Organisms are made up of cells, and in each of those cells, a genome encodes the instructions for that organism to grow and survive. The human genome has at least 20,000 genes, and the expression of ...
Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...
The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...
In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology Sophie Gillett, looked at regions of human genetic code that are known for ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...
A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
