For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection transformed biology and continues to guide modern science, from ...

When Charles Darwin first proposed how evolution works in 1859, it seemed plausible. Tiny changes stack up over time, eventually leading a species to become something entirely different. Aside from ...

A new editorial was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on July 13, 2024, entitled, "Unveiling retrotransposon-derived DNA zip code for myeloma cell internalization." The complex interplay between ...

Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...

DNA provides the foundational library of possibilities, but the environment serves as the librarian, choosing which books are ...
