Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and ...

Researchers have identified a large number of areas in the human genetic code that are involved in regulating the way in which the liver functions, in a new study of over 61,000 people, published ...

The team at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology calls their creation Syn57. It is a synthetic ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

There is also redundancy in the genetic code; in most cases, several combinations of amino acids encode for one amino acid (tryptophan is the only amino acid specified by only one codon).

Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original ...

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.

The genetic code is the universal set of rules that defines how DNA and RNA sequences are translated into proteins, enabling the accurate synthesis of essential biomolecules in all living organisms.

Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...

Launched in 2020, initiative seeks to build vast 'digital bank of life' to protect biodiversity amid accelerating species ...
