"These powerful tools reveal the ‘control knobs’ of the genome

By accelerating the identification of DNA sequences that control gene expression, assays are revealing the hidden grammar of the regulatory genome — and giving scientists the means to rewrite it.

For all that scientists talk of ‘decoding the genome’, the messy reality is that the genome isn’t even written in a single language. Scientists are fluent in the three-nucleotide codons that make up the protein-coding genes in DNA, but these represent only about 2% of the genomic text. The remainder is written in an entirely distinct language, which researchers are yet to untangle."

Aptamere, kurze einzelsträngige #RNA- oder #DNA-Fragmente, lassen sich leicht so designen, dass sie mit hoher Affinität Proteine oder andere Moleküle binden. Bestückt man einen DNA-Nanoswitch mit zweien davon, erhält man einen formidablen Protein-Detektor ... 👉 https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3493.php

Interesting, albeit small sample sized, study of burials from the Bronze Age to Medieval Britain giving a glimpse of the ethnicity of the British Isles during this massively changeable period.
Unsurprisingly, much genetic material in lowland Britain outside the Danelaw (and I assume Wales!) is of Germanic origin.
And I've also always intuitively felt the Roman occupation was a prolonged blip of acculturation rather than genetic mixing.

A huge study of ancient British DNA reveals only minor Roman influence.

Genetic analysis of 1039 people buried in Britain between the Bronze Age and the Norman conquest highlights the impact of the Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings on the island’s ancestry.
