Their findings were published Tuesday in the scientific journal Nature Communications. MIT ...

Read Time: In early 2020, a few months after the Covid-19 pandemic began, scientists were able to sequence the full genome of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the Covid-19 infection. While many of its genes were already known at that point, the full complement of protein-coding genes was unresolved. Now, after performing an extensive comparative genomics study, MIT researchers have generated what they describe as the most accurate and complete gene annotation of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. In the...

SARS-CoV-2 Genome Study Uncovers Full Set of Protein-Coding Genes May 11, 2021 On January 11, 2020, the first draft genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was posted online by Chinese researchers. Quickly, many of the virus’s genes were quickly determined as it shares a large amount of similarity with other coronaviruses. However, the full complement of protein-coding genes remained unresolved. Now, researchers have generated what they describe as the most accurate and complete gene annotation of the...

Epigenomic Map Identifies Candidate Mechanisms for 30,000 Gene Loci Linked to 540 Traits February 4, 2021 A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has published what it claims is the most comprehensive map yet of human noncoding DNA. The EpiMap (Epigenome Integration across Multiple Annotation Projects) resource offers an in-depth annotation of epigenomic marks—modifications indicating which genes are turned on or off in different types of cells—across 833 tissue...

 E-Mail CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Twenty years ago this month, the first draft of the human genome was publicly released. One of the major surprises that came from that project was the revelation that only 1.5 percent of the human genome consists of protein-coding genes. Over the past two decades, it has become apparent that those noncoding stretches of DNA, originally thought to be "junk DNA," play critical roles in development and gene regulation. In a new study published today, a team of researchers...
