The Human Genome Project pieced together only 92% of the DNA – now scientists have finally filled in the remaining 8%

More than 98% of human DNA does not code for proteins. Research shows this DNA plays a role in regulating when genes are activated, where they act, and how strongly they respond. Large portions of this genetic material are highly conserved across evolution. The full functional significance of this non-coding DNA is still an active area of scientific research. This video presents an observational overview based on current biological understanding. | InsideBiology

Light-Activated 'CRISPR' Triggers Precision Gene Editing and Super-Fast DNA Repair

Human genome editing offers tantalizing possibilities – but without clear guidelines, many ethical questions still remain
