Did you know one of the largest collections of marine DNA in the entire world is hiding just outside D.C.? In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re taking an even deeper dive into the ...

New research pioneered by The University of Western Australia is shedding light on the intricate dance between proteins, DNA and RNA—the fundamental building blocks that carry out cellular processes ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...
