Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research.

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

DNA molecules contain coding regions—the genes that code for proteins—and non-coding regions that are involved in the mechanisms that regulate or organize the genome.

This AI system can analyze up to one million DNA letters at once, predicting how tiny changes in noncoding regions trigger everything from cancer to rare genetic disorders—and potentially ...
