Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

The pursuit to fulfill this mandate not only brings clarity to our meaning and purpose in this world, but it also creates the ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...

Scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center identified a new genetic code that recruits and deploys tumor cells to invade healthy organs and overpower normal cells. This image shows a time ...

We've heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. Scientists at the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology say they've engineered a bacteria whose genetic code is more efficient than ...

The genetic code appeared on Earth at the origin of life, and the codes of culture arrived almost four billion years later. For a long time it has been assumed that these are the only codes that exist ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...

Researchers at Yale have achieved a major breakthrough in synthetic biology. They have rewritten the genetic code of an organism, opening up unprecedented possibilities for medicine and industry. This ...

In recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved more than a dozen gene-editing and cell-based therapies. We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined ...
