Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

In a world first, scientists at Bar-Ilan University say they have discovered that a single-letter switch in a region of the genome once dismissed as “junk DNA” can reverse the biological sex of a ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a ...

"With up to half of individuals with rare diseases currently living without a diagnosis, exploring the non-coding DNA can provide answers for families with rare conditions." The researchers found that ...
