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

The pursuit to fulfill this mandate not only brings clarity to our meaning and purpose in this world, but it also creates the ...

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