A DNA sequence code critical to our understanding of how human genes are turned on and off has just been unlocked by a team of scientists. Molecular biologists refer to this code as the “human ...

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

Just like the mechanical components in cars or computers, the molecules inside a cell can sometimes malfunction. When this happens during DNA replication, the result is an unpredictable change in the ...

In the not-so-distant past, I published a mini-series of four “Logic 101” articles encompassing Assertion-Level Logic, Positive-vs-Negative Logic, Reed-Muller Logic, and Gray Codes. More recently, a ...

For more than 50 years, the RNA remained hidden in a lymph node that had been snipped out of a 38-year-old man in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That nub of tissue, the size of a ...
