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

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 ...

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