Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with ...

Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

The genetic code is a set of rules defining how the four-letter code of DNA is translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The genetic code is a ...

From understanding hereditary diseases to predicting drug responses, sequencing helps researchers uncover the subtle language ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Worryingly low levels of genetic diversity make Scotland’s red squirrels especially vulnerable to disease, a study has shown.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were recode the genetic code of an organism, a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with ...

"Cracking Your Genetic Code" reveals that we stand on the verge of such a revolution. Meet a cancer patient who appears to have cheated death and a cystic fibrosis sufferer breathing easily ...

Researchers from TMC and NIBMG have uncovered key genomic factors contributing to hormone treatment resistance in breast cancer. The study identifies mutations in three genes, DNA repair deficiencies, ...

How can just four nitrogenous bases--adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil--possibly code for all 20 amino acids? Thus, early researchers quickly determined that the smallest combination of As ...

"Cracking Your Genetic Code" reveals that we stand on the verge of such a revolution. Meet a cancer patient who appears to have cheated death and a cystic fibrosis sufferer breathing easily ...

A massive screen of bacterial and archaeal genomes revealed five previously unknown instances where an organism uses an alternate code to translate genetic blueprints into proteins. A study probes how ...
