DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences. This ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

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?

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...
