Advanced genetic tools have helped to reveal the importance of the dark genome, or DNA that does not code for protein, but ...

Learn more about peptideins and how researchers are shedding light on the dark proteome — the mysterious and largely ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...

Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? "We find ...

An innovative new technique uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick biological samples, providing researchers with a full picture of ...
