'Junk DNA' defines differences between humans and chimps
For years, scientists believed the vast phenotypic differences between humans and chimpanzees would be easily explained – the two species must have significantly different genetic makeups. However, when ...

Analyzing complex plant genomes with the newest next-generation DNA sequencing techniques
Genomes are catalogs of hereditary information that determine whether an organism becomes a plant, animal, fungus or microbe, and whether the organism is adapted to its surroundings. Determining the sequence ...
