Creating a synthetic human genome has the possibilities of improving human healthspans, but it also comes with extremely ...

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its ...

Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and ...

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 ...

Ochre is a major step toward creating a non-redundant genetic code in E. coli, specifically, which is ideally suited to produce synthetic proteins containing multiple, different synthetic amino acids.

Obesity isn’t just a matter of food and exercise — it may be in your genetic code, according to new research. “Obesity’s causes are very complex and in the majority of cases, the ...

Furthermore, the Obelisks contain genetic code to create a similarly new class of proteins, which the researchers named Oblins, and the process is reportedly much different than that used by viruses.

Researchers identified an unusual genetic mutation in orange domestic cats that has not been found in any other animal, according to a new study.

The team looked for pieces of genetic code that were common in overweight dogs. They picked out one gene in particular - called DENND1B - that was associated with a higher body mass in the labradors.

Ochre is a major step toward creating a non-redundant genetic code in E. coli, specifically, which is ideally suited to produce synthetic proteins containing multiple, different synthetic amino acids.

Human DNA contains roughly 3 billion letters of genetic code. However, we understand only a fraction of what this vast ...
