The RNA world hypothesis proposes that early life was based on RNA, which subsequently devolved the storage of information to more stable DNA, and catalytic functions to more versatile proteins.

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the available technologies did not allow them to be studied at sufficient resolution. This is the case for the SST1/NBL2 ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

The “dark proteome” includes uncharacterized proteins that may influence cancer growth, immune evasion, and therapy ...

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

The discovery of thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has expanded our view on mammalian genomes and transcriptomes, as well as their organization and regulation. Accumulating evidence on aberrantly ...
