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

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

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

(L to R) Co-first author Jackson Mobley, PhD, corresponding author Daniel Savic, PhD, and co-first author Kashi Raj Bhattarai, PhD, all of the St. Jude Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical ...

You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature. An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

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

Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non-coding ...
