Scientists Find Vital Genes Evolving in Genome’s Junkyard Quanta MagazineImage caption: Inside the nucleus of a cell, most of the active genes are in the portion of the DNA called euchromatin (magenta). The more condensed DNA of the heterochromatin (black) is mostly genetically inert, but researchers are learning how new genes can evolve there.
