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

Researchers show how a DNA-binding protein can search the entire genome for its target sequence without getting held up on the way. The result contradicts our current understanding of gene regulation ...

Since the 1990s, nanopores have been used for sequencing strands of DNA. A voltage is applied across the nanopore, which is embedded in a thin lipid membrane, causing a stretch of DNA to thread ...

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

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...
