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 non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

Researchers at Stanford Medicine discovered that bacteria can perform DNA inversions within single genes, altering their genetic coding. This finding challenges traditional genetic understanding and ...
