Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA that can be found at the ends of chromosomes, where they form a kind of protective cap. Telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides, and they are thought ...

On January 11, 2020, the first draft genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was posted online by Chinese researchers. Quickly, many of the virus’s genes were quickly determined as it shares a large amount of ...

There are billions of nucleotides in the human genome, and researchers once thought that there could be as many as 100,000 protein-coding genes encoded within the human genome. One of the main goals ...

Researchers from the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center uncovered the potentially important role of the protein-coding gene, MYO10, in tumor development and immune therapy response. Their findings were ...

The human genome may contain more protein-coding genes than prior analyses suggested. A study published last month (May 29) on BioRxiv provides an expanded database of approximately 5,000 novel ...
