Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function. This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries ...
The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...
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 ...
There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...
Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...
A vast mosaic of cells, some that are identical and some that are slightly different, make up the human body. Knowable Magazine You began when egg and sperm met, and the DNA from your biological ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...
