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

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine laboratory scientists say they have developed a potential new way to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases marked by too low levels of specific cellular proteins. To boost ...

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