CAMBRIDGE, MA Twenty years ago this month, the first draft of the human genome was publicly released. One of the major surprises that came from that project was the revelation that only 1.5 percent of the human genome consists of protein-coding genes.
Over the past two decades, it has become apparent that those noncoding stretches of DNA, originally thought to be junk DNA, play critical roles in development and gene regulation. In a new study published today, a team of researchers from MIT has published the most comprehensive map yet of this noncoding DNA.
This map provides in-depth annotation of epigenomic marks modifications indicating which genes are turned on or off in different types of cells across 833 tissues and cell types, a significant increase over what has been covered before. The researchers also identified groups of regulatory elements that control specific biological programs, and they uncovered candidate mechanisms of action for about 30,000 geneti

SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. A Spotsylvania youth official has been charged with child sex crimes and possession of child pornography.
An investigation into Benjamin James Nagle began after an anonymous tip was called into the Spotsylvania Department of Social Services alleging an inappropriate relationship with a minor known to him.
Nagle is the Executive Director of Office on Youth serving the greater Fredericksburg area.
