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 studied Rhodotorula toruloides, a red yeast used to produce substances called oleochemicals. Scientists use a ...

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

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

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

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

The genetic code of a rare form of kidney cancer, called reninoma, has been studied for the first time. In the new paper, published today (25th September) in Nature Communications, researchers at the ...

Scientists have developed the world's most detailed gene map of the human retina, providing new insights which will help future research to prevent and treat blindness. Australian scientists have led ...

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...
