For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...
New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
