For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is translated into proteins, .

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

Cancer has long been treated as a mass of rogue cells, but the real power lies in the intricate communication networks ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

Structures long blamed for blocking genes actually help them turn on, according to the Cornell Chronicle. Cornell scientists found that nucleosomes — the spools that package DNA — relieve twisting ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

All-RNA, non-viral, LNP-based PRINT™ platform is designed to develop safer, durable, one-time therapies for a broad range of unmet needsAddition is advancing a robust pipeline of PRINTed therapeutics ...
