More Cellular Roles Found for RNA
Previously relegated to servant tasks under the master DNA molecules, ribonucleic acids continue to surprise scientists.
About Orphan Genes — What’s the Big Problem for Evolution?

Inside the Machine Room of the Nucleus
The nucleus is a beehive of activity, where information is not just stored but processed, protected, transcribed, and duplicated by highly complex machines.
As Research Advances, Debunking “Junk DNA” Is Almost Trendy
Why not treat the whole genome as functional? This is a radical concept, but perhaps the focus on genes distorts our understanding.
Encryption System Found in Genes
A clever method of RNA editing may explain the role of introns embedded in genes, and points to even higher levels of programming.
