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

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein ...

By optimizing the codon sequences for efficient protein expression in human cells, scientists can better ensure a vaccine's ...

Each three-letter codon instructs the cell on which amino acid to incorporate during protein synthesis, translating the genetic information into functional proteins. (Image: National Human Genome ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.
