Discovery Of Gene Regulation Mechanism Unique To Primates

Scientists have discovered a new way genes are regulated that is unique to primates, including humans and monkeys. Though the human genome - all the genes that an individual possesses - was sequenced 10 years ago, greater understanding of how genes function and are regulated is needed to make advances in medicine, including changing the way we diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of diseases. "It's extremely valuable that we've sequenced a large bulk of the human genome, but sequence without function doesn't get us very far, which is why our finding is so important," said Lynne E...
