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

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our DNA. This code, embedded in the three-dimensional structure of DNA, goes ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...
