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

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.

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

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.

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