Scientists discover second, secret code cloaked within DNA

Findings in the journal Science medical professionals to interpret and diagnose disease patients may have huge implications for how they use the genome , the researchers said.

Scientists have long DNA that tells the cell how to make proteins have believed . But a new, second Thursday of the discovery of the DNA code of the body shows talking two different languages .


Deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic code was discovered in the body in almost every cell varkalıtsal material, right on top of the scientists already broken DNA code is written .

Unlike proteins and its own more of these genes is controlled directs how cells .

His discovery means that DNA changes , or mutations that come with age or virus response , scientists might be doing more than previously thought , he said.

" For 40 years we change the genetic code of DNA that affect how proteins are made just assumed that effect ," lead author John Stamatoyannopoulos , genome sciences and medicine at Washington University professor said.

" Now these basic assumptions about how to read the human genome is missed half of the picture I know," he said.

" Many DNA changes appears to change protein sequences actually gene control programs simultaneously disrupting mechanism , or both can cause disease . "

Scientists already the genetic code , called codon knew that uses 64 -letter alphabet .

But now some of these codons researchers figured out that two meanings .

DUONS invented language of DNA and protein sequence of this new gene control elements associated with the sense that there is an associated .

Secondly instructions " proteins appear to offset some useful features and how-to, " the study said .

Discovery of DNA Elements Projesiansiklopedi known as an international collaboration of research groups , or as part of Encode is made .

Directions for where and how the biological function of the human genome is stored with the object of finding the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute is funded .
