Junk DNA may be Behind Brain Development as Well as Devastating Neurological Diseases
Specific DNA once dismissed as junk plays an important role in brain development and might be involved in several devastating neurological diseases, reveals UC San Francisco scientists. Their discovery in mice is likely to further fuel a recent scramble by researchers to identify roles for long-neglected bits of DNA within the genomes of mice and humans alike. While researchers have been busy exploring the roles of proteins encoded by the genes identified ...
