Researchers expand the use of ribosome profiling, also known as Ribo-seq, to understand protein production in cells A gene sequencing method called ribosome profiling has expanded our understanding of ...

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...

Researchers mapped genetic blueprints for 51 species including cats, dolphins, kangaroos, penguins, sharks, and turtles, a discovery that deepens our understanding of evolution and the links between ...

New analysis of the 1000 Genomes sample set yields brand new insights, providing a more complete view of human genetic variation than ever before. Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.

A gene sequencing method called ribosome profiling has expanded our understanding of the human genome by identifying previously unknown protein coding regions. Also known as Ribo-seq, this method ...
