Not just a blueprint for proteins: the importance of non-coding RNAs
We all know that DNA → RNA → protein. But did you know that some genes don't encode proteins but rather RNAs with important cellular functions?

Sweet understanding: learn about the science of honeybees and their sugary product through a series of hands-on activities.
Europe is throwing a party for Gregor Mendel. Cities and institutes in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, and the United Kingdom invite you to a year of events honouring the father of genetics.
Stroll through biological databases: Walking on chromosomes is a CusMiBio project that teaches students how to explore biological databases and extract basic information about human genes. It is a collaborative activity based on working together and sharing discoveries.
How do scientists piece together genomic information from sequencing data? Play these two fun online puzzles to find out.
New research is shedding light on the internal ‘clocks’ that help plants respond to changing day-night cycles.
How do new species – or completely new types of organism – emerge? Time and separation are the key factors.
The curation of ‘big data’ in molecular biology is changing the way scientists work.
Pathogens that threaten human health are constantly evolving to keep ahead of our defences. But we can now track these changes at the genetic level, even as they are happening.
A unique experiment tracks microbes changing over thousands of generations – so we can watch evolution on fast-forward.
