Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in Alzheimer's disease.

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

A centuries-old sketch may be holding more than artistic secrets—it might carry traces of Leonardo da Vinci himself. A team ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

The origins of millions of tiny proteins in our bodies, previously assumed to be useless, have now been discovered. A study published on February 17 in the journal Molecular Cell describes how these ...
