Using micro-RNAs in cancer research: little strands of genetic material with big promise 21 Jan 2015 After the human genome project was completed, many people were surprised to learn that 98% of genome did not code for any functional genes. However, this ‘junk DNA’ holds surprising secrets, and is actually a hub of crucial gene-controlling activity. Find out more Show/Hide
