Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic of ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

India's largest-ever genomic study has identified genetic variants unique to the country, marking a crucial step in closing a longstanding gap in global genomics research. The preliminary findings, ...

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) report in an upcoming article in the Journal of the American Chemical Society their synthesis of a form of the bacterium Escherichia coli with a ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Researchers believe they discovered a new type of life form living in the human body that were previously misidentified as viruses. According to a new study from bioRxiv that has ...

This study abroad program is designed to explore the intersection of genetics, culture, ethics, and public policy in a global context. London and Scotland offer uniquely rich educational environments ...

The Genetic Frontier: how gene editing and synthetic biology are redefining what it means to be human delves into the controversies of ‘de-extinction,’ the resurgence of eugenics, the threat of ...
