The ubiquity of satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences has raised much controversy over the abundance of divergent monomer variants and the long-time nucleotide sequence stability observed for many satDNA ...
The Human Genome Project 1 established the foundation for human genomics studies. Subsequent analyses unveiled genetic variations and identified their effects on phenotypic diversity and differences ...
In their search for sources of genetic novelty, researchers find that some “orphan genes” with no obvious ancestors evolve out of junk DNA, contrary to old assumptions. The evolution of new genes ...
