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

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?

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

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

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