Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original ...

Researchers show simpler versions of the universal genetic code can still function in protein synthesis. In addition to understanding early primordial organisms, the research could lead to ...

The team at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology calls their creation Syn57. It is a synthetic ...

Researchers have identified a large number of areas in the human genetic code that are involved in regulating the way in which the liver functions, in a new study of over 61,000 people, published ...

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and ...

Han Xiao's research pioneers genetic reprogramming using noncanonical amino acids to control cellular functions and enzyme activities in vivo.

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

There is also redundancy in the genetic code; in most cases, several combinations of amino acids encode for one amino acid (tryptophan is the only amino acid specified by only one codon).

Launched in 2020, initiative seeks to build vast 'digital bank of life' to protect biodiversity amid accelerating species ...

Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...

Cancer treatment is becoming more personalized. By considering a patient's unique genetic and molecular profile, along with their lifestyle and environmental factors, doctors can make more accurate ...
