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 controversy.

A microorganism has been discovered that breaks biology’s golden rule. This genetic twist could change everything.

What are usually seen as 14 different mental health or neurodiversity conditions could really be five clusters of closely ...

As the planet heats, polar bears in southeastern Greenland appear to be adjusting to warmer conditions, new research from the ...

From rare diseases to chronic conditions, epigenetic editing unlocks new ways to control gene activity without altering the genetic code.

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and ...

Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when ...

Using the AI, a young scientist Mohan Vamsi Nallapareddy and his team developed an AI tool, which can predict protein-production failures at the molecular level and such predictions could ...

When this occurs, a process known as the ribotoxic stress response (RSR) begins. The RSR triggers protective pathways that either repair the underlying problem or, if the damage is too severe, ...

The authors' approach to use genetic code expansion to tag two ALS proteins associated with stress granules has value and should be useful in the ALS field. Parts of the work are well done, but there ...

A therapy that would once have been considered a feat of science fiction has reversed aggressive and incurable blood cancers ...
