Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...
