Cells Use Loop Extrusion to Keep DNA Optimized
A paper illustrates the action of DNA loop extrusion processes, which serve multiple functions to maintain the genome, with an interesting graphic: gears.
Missing the Point: Codes Are Not Products of Physics (Updated)
Elaborate schemes to explain the origin of the genetic code from the laws of physics and chemistry miss the whole point about codes.
Between Sapientia and Scientia — Michael Aeschliman’s Profound Interpretation
Science, the dominant way of knowing of our age, now finds itself caught between a rock and (very) hard place.
More Information Found in DNA: The Shape Code
Researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands made “a remarkable discovery” about a protein named Polycomb that binds to DNA.
DNA as Architect as Well as Librarian: Structural Functions of the Double Helix
Early geneticists missed a lot when they looked at DNA only for its coding function.
