The concept of theoretical plates is one of the most important ways to measure column efficiency in chromatography, and both practitioners and theorists return to it as the foundation for ...

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are ...

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. Credit: Shutterstock For years, scientists thought certain parts of ...

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an active ...

For decades, scientists regarded large portions of our DNA as genetic junk – useless remnants of ancient viruses that invaded our ancestors’ genomes. These segments, known as transposable elements ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

This valuable work presents an interpretable protein-DNA Energy Associative (IDEA) model for predicting binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins. While the method is convincing, it ...

Chromatogram output from a DNA sequencer. The different coloured peaks correspond to the four different nucleotides. This sequence is part of the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene and is so invariable that it ...

Abstract: This paper presents a DNA Sequence Alignment approach that explores all potential optimal solutions for aligning pairwise DNA sequences. The suggested DNA sequence alignment technique ...
