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. Read More ›

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.  Read More ›

How the Nucleus Guards Its Gates

Details of the nuclear pore complex, one of the largest and most complex protein systems in the cell, come into sharper focus as a team watches how it validates a messenger RNA. Read More ›

An Intimate Reminder About What “Was Once Thought to Be Unnecessary ‘Junk’ DNA”

“Male mice grow ovaries instead of testes if they are missing a small region of DNA that doesn’t contain any genes,” reports the Francis Crick Institute. Read More ›

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. Read More ›

Biophysicist Ken Dill: Protein Machines Are “Real Machines. That’s Not a Metaphor”

The implication of design, while no doubt unintended, is so powerful it almost doesn’t need to be spelled out. Read More ›

Protein Folds Violate Evolutionary Expectations

Protein folds show more flexibility than previously thought, but the flexibility appears designed. If it’s hard to get one fold to work, how about two in the same protein? Read More ›

Life Exponential: Life Exhibits Intelligent Design at Many Levels

Complexity (such as we see in a pile of autumn leaves) can arise spontaneously from unguided natural processes, but complex specified information cannot. Read More ›

Importance of Centrobin in Sperm Development — Another Stumbling Block for Darwinism

“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications...” Read More ›
