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 ...

Here, we present new biophysical models of gene expression that enable engineers to rationally design and optimize genetic systems with desired functionalities, using statistical thermodynamics, ...

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 ...

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 ...

DNA is admired for its perfection as a programmable information molecule: it uses repeating polymerization chemistry to link four nucleotide building blocks (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) ...

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

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 ...

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

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...
