Read about our research on a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA. Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all ou

Läs här om vår forskning om en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA. Vårt DNA är mycket likt schimpansens, som evolutionärt är vår närmaste levande släkting. Nu har stamcellsforskare i Lund hittat en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA, som tycks bidra till en skillnad som trots alla våra likheter kan förklara varför våra hjärnor fungerar olika.
