Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Recent breakthroughs in genetics research may have uncovered new genes underlying common psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia and ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon — using a cellular platform that they developed ...

Scientists have sequenced DNA from one of humans' closest relatives, the Neanderthal. Guests examine what that prehistoric genetic code might tell us about how these early hominids lived, and why they ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...
