In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology Sophie Gillett, looked at regions of human genetic code that are known for ...

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over how genes are expressed.

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
